Van Dale mentions lat. _horiari_ (later hortari) and greek _chairein_,
(lemma 'begeren').
>>From the same base derived are (according van Dale) Mdld. grettich
(vertoornd), gretten (irriteren) Mdlhg. graz (woede), grazen (schreeuwen,
aanmatigend handelen), propably connected with Ohg. gratag, Oe groedig
(begerig) got. gredags (hongerig).
