Word: гребу́,
Near etymology: грести́, укр. гребу́, гребсти́, ст.-слав. гребѫ, грети, болг. греба́ "гребу", сербохорв. грѐбе̑м, грѐпсти, словен. grébem, grébsti "рыть, копать", чеш. hřebu, hřésti "хоронить", слвц. hrebiem, hriebst', др.-польск. grzebę, grześć "грести, копать".
Further etymology: Знач. "грести (веслами)" возникло из знач. "рыть"; см. Мейе, RES 7, 1. Родственно лтш. grebt, grebju "выскабливать", greblis "грабли", лит. grė́bti, grė́biu "обрабатывать граблями", др.-шв. græva "рыть", алб. kreh, гег. kref "причесывать", greh "тащу, выдираю" (из *greb-skō). Другая ступень чередования представлена в гот. graban "рыть"; см. гроб (ср. Бернекер 1, 348; Г. Майер, Alb. Wb. 204 и сл.; Цупица, GG 175; М. -- Э. 1, 645 и сл.; Траутман, BSW 95 и сл.). Разграничение слов со знач. "грести" и "скрести, разгребать", а также "рыть" не обосновано; слав. grebǫ "гребу" обозначает способ гребли на внутренних водоемах и реках, о котором говорится у Арриана -- см. Ind. 27, 5: κατάπερ οἱ σκάπτοντες την γῆν; см. Мейе, там же; Перссон (728), вопреки Бернекеру (1, 347). Ср. также тур., чагат. äšmäk "рыть, копать", а также "грести" (Радлов 1, 904). См. также гра́бить, гра́бли.

Comments: EAS 97, KW 248, Poppe 79, Цинциус 1984, 121-122. The etymology seems quite probable, although the TM vocalism is not clear (a result of some contamination?).
