Words of Fear and Trembling · 147 headwords

Each word with its meanings, its forms, and the lines it stands in.

karrig

stingy once

karrig

'Karrig' is used figuratively here — grudging or withholding, not literally about money.

kirke

church once

Kirke

'i Kirke' is a fixed idiom meaning 'to church', with no article, like the English phrase.

kras

crass once

cras

Printed 'cras' is a likely dropped-letter typo for Danish 'kras' ('crass, harsh, extreme'), not the English word 'crass' or Latin 'cras' ('tomorrow'). Kierkegaard elsewhere uses 'kras' this way (e.g. 'kras Empirisme'), and it matches the Hongs' rendering 'crass materialism'.
