Origin: IE [Indo-European] [938] * ker- `cut'

Etymology: κείρω from *κερ-ι̯ω (Schwyzer 715, 751, 759), belongs to a widespread IE. wordgroup; but exact agreements of the Greek verb forms. Nearest is Arm. k` erem `scratch, shave' (sec. aorist k`ere-c̣i; diff. Meillet BSL 37, 12), Alb. sh-kjer `tear apart' (pret. \> sh-kora \< IE. * kēr-); further Hitt. karšmi `cut off' (with s-enlargement as in κουρά; s. v.). Frequent are forms with initial * sk-: Germ., OHG sceran ` scheren', Lith. skiriù, skìrti `separate', OIr. scar(a)im `separate'. A t-enlargement in Skt. kr̥-n-t-áti `separates' (infixed nasal present; perf. ca-kart-a); this would be possible for the aorist ἔκερσα (if \< *ἔ-κερτ-σα, Risch 219). - The number of nominal derivv. in the separate languages is enormous, partly parallel innoavtions. Thus formal agreement exists between κέρμα and Skt. cárman-, Av. čarǝman- n. `skin, hide', OPr. kērmens m. `body' (IE. *kér-men-); diff. only in ablaut betwen κορμός and OCS krъma f. `steering oar, back part of the ship', Russ. kormá `puppis'. - Further Pok. 938ff., W.-Hofmann s. carō, cēna, corium.

Grammatical information: adj.

Meaning: `utmost, hindmost, undermost', of the bodypart that is closest to the trunk v. t.; of the undermost part of a tree, a rock etc. (ep. poet. Il.).

Compounds: As 2. member e.g. in πρυμν-ώρεια f. `lower part, foot of a mountain (Ξ 307), from *πρυμν-ώρης (Solmsen Wortforsch. 249, Risch Mus. Helv. 2, 18). From there with accentshift πρύμνη, second. - νᾰ f. `hindmost part of a ship, stern' (IA. Il.; Hom. mostly attributive πρύμνη νηῦς); compp. e.g. πρυμν-οῦχος `holding the stern' (E., AP), ὑψί-πρυμνος `with high stern' (Str.).

Derivatives: 1. πρυμν-όθεν `from the lower end, from the bottom' (A.), also (hell. poet.) = πρύμν-ηθεν, Dor. -ᾱθεν `from the stern' (Il.); 2. - ήτης m. `steersman', as adj. `standing on the stern' (A., E.) with - ητικός (Callix., pap.), - ήσιος (E.) `id.', τὰ -ήσια n. pl. `stern-cables' (Hom., AP); prob. to πρύμνη analog. built (Chantraine Form. 42, Schwyzer 466 w. lit.); 3. - αῖος `id.' (A. R.); 4. - εύς m. PN (θ 112, Nonn.; Bosshardt 121).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: Uncertain. -- Often connected with πρό, with υ for ο as in διαπρύσιος a.o.; s.v. and Forssman KZ 79, 11 ff. w. extensive treatment; semant. not quite convincing, as πρυμνός indicates not the most foward or the uppermost, but the hindmost and lowest part. Diff. Schwyzer KZ 63, 59 f.: πρύμνη from *πύμνη to πύματος after πρῳ̃ρα, with πρυμνός as innovation; grave opjections by Forssman l.c. After Bechtel Lex. s.v. (with Curtius 715) however to πρέμνον; semant. better, but only as Pre-Greek (s.v.). Against the often defended connection with OCS krъma `back part of a ship' (lastly Thieme Die Heimat d. idg. Gemeinspr. 30) s. Vasmer Wb. s. kormá. The μν-suffix is also found in the close Skt. ni-mná- n. `lowering, depth', adj. `lying deep'. -- On πρόμνος and προμνηστῖνοι, by Forssman l.c. connected with πρυμνός, s. πρόμος and s.v. -- By Furnée 65 connected with πρέμνον, with Pre-Greek ε\/υ (n. 270); in any case πρυμνός may well be Pre-Greek..
