"grus" meaning in Latin

See grus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ˈɡruːs] [Classical-Latin], [ˈɡrus] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *gerh₂- Proto-Indo-European *-ōws Proto-Indo-European *gerh₂ōwsder. Proto-Indo-European *-usinflu. Proto-Indo-European *gérh₂us ~ *gr̥h₂éws Proto-Italic *grūs Latin grus From Proto-Italic *grūs, from Proto-Indo-European *gr̥h₂-ú-s (which apparently metathesized to *grúh₂s), perhaps modified from *gerh₂ōws, in any case from the onomatopoeic root *gerh₂- (“to cry hoarsely”) which derived several words for birds, especially cranes and crows. Cognate with Proto-Slavic *žeravь, Old Prussian gerwe, and Lithuanian gérvė, all meaning “crane”. Also related to English crane, but probably not to grouse (of unknown origin). See also Latin grāculus (“jackdaw, chough”), Old Norse krákr (“raven, crow”), and English crow.
