Krivas

Cf. lit. Kriwis ¹. Perhaps connected with lit. curve „kreivas, sukrypęs žmogus ar daiktas; kairys“. Connection with Lieut. kri̇̀vis „senovės lietuvių dvasininkas, žynys“ (LKŽ VI 660) is hardly possible, among other things, because the institution of krivi had already disappeared during the period of intensive formation of surnames in Lithuania ².
