    Note: maybe (*hurwe) Hrv > Hrwat “dark people” = Sarmoi > Serboi, Srb from Lith. sarma “gray, white weasel” [common PIE b > w mutation]. It is interesting that the etymology of the name of the Croats (root: Hrv) is also unknown. Some suggest that the names actually originate from the same root: indeed, the roots are distinctly similar (Srb/Hrv). However, it is not known whether this is merely coincidental or indicative of a common origin.
