griauti

== Lithuanian == === Etymology === Along with griū́ti (“to collapse”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʰrewH- (“to rush in, attack”). Cognate with Latvian graût (“to destroy, thunder”), Latin ingruō (“to attack”), Ancient Greek χράω (khráō, “to attack, inflict”). The "destroy" and "thunder" meanings are traditionally treated separately in Lithuanian dictionaries; however, Derksen considers them to be of the same origin. He also considers griáusti (“to thunder, roar, knock”) to be related. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɡrʲæːʊ̯.tʲɪ/ === Verb === griáuti (third-person present tense griáuna, third-person past tense grióvė) to destroy, demolish, bring down (figuratively) to ruin, spoil to thunder, roar ==== Conjugation ==== === References ===
