Abstract
The purpose of this article is to show that the variety and irregularity of the Indo-European 'crane' words is apparent rather than actual, and that their derivational history is in fact quite simple. In brief, they can be reduced to only a couple of related PIE lexemes, rather than a whole constellation of 'dialectal' forms.
