utkroSayati
utkrośayati ( denom. to AMg. ukkosa, see below), exalts, magnifies : AsP 419.4 ātmānam utkrośayati parān paṃsayati. The AMg. ukkosa is derived by Sheth and Ratnach. from utkarṣa (or utkṛṣṭa) and defined as adj. , highest, supreme , or, as n. , pride . If this is the true etym. , our word would be a hyper- Sktism , by false etym. Possibly, however, the AMg. word may really represent a Skt. *utkrośa, which, like Eng. a crying-up , could conceivably have meant glorification . To be sure I find no record, otherwise, of such a mg. in any deriv. of ut-kruś.
