ETYMOLOGY
Beider notes that Y could have borrowed the word either from German (which would explain protovowel A₃ from a lengthened /a/ in an open syllable) or from Polish. [Probably Y borrowed from both, which explains why the vowel varies.]
MHG karaʒ, karas; probably borrowed from Polish karaś or another Slavic language; from Proto-Slavic ✱karasь.
