    cerno, crēvi, crētum ( part. pass. cretus is apparently used only once:

    cineris bene creti,

    Pall. 12, 22, 3; but freq. in the compounds of cerno; for the simple part., the orig. form certus also is very rarely used:

    certā deinde sorte senatus consultum factum est,

    Liv. 36, 2, 2; v. under II. C., and cf. certus), 3, v. a. [root car- for scar-, to separate; cf. krinô; hence, skôr, stercus, screo; cf. cera].
    I.
    To separate, sift (rare):

    per cribrum, Cato. R. R. 107, 1: farinam cribro,

    Plin. 18, 11, 29, § 115; cf. id. 33, 5, 26, § 87; Pall. Jun. 1; Veg. 3, 28, 6:

    in cribris omnia cerne cavis,

    Ov. Med. Fac. 62; cf.:

    cineris bene creti,

    well sifted, Pall. Nov. 22.—Far more freq.,
    II.
    Trop.
    A.
    To separate, distinguish by the senses, mostly by the eyes, i. e. to perceive, see, discern (syn.: video, conspicio; class. in prose and poetry; most freq. probably in Lucretius, where it is used about a hundred times); rarely by the ears; v. infra: lumen jubarve in caelo cerno? [p. 319] Enn. ap. Varr. L. L. 6, § 81 Müll.;

    7, § 76 ib.: sed quis illic est, procul quem video? estne hic Hegio? si satis cerno, is hercle'st,

    Ter. Ad. 3, 3, 85:

    tum porro varios rerum sentimus odores, nec tamen ad nareis venienteis cernimus umquam: nec voces cernere suemus,

    Lucr. 1, 300; 4, 598:

    quod nequeunt oculis rerum primordia cerni,

    Hor. S. 1, 3, 26:

    ut non solum auribus acciperetur, sed etiam oculis cerneretur,

    Nep. Timol. 2, 2;

    or to mental perception: quem ego tam video animo, quam ea, quae oculis cernimus,

    Nep. Timol. 2, 2. —Ante-class., of the hearing: vox illius certe est: idem omnes cernimus, Att. ap. Non. p. 261, 11, and perh. also, Titin. ap. Prisc. p. 898 P.—Hence,
    b.
    Cerni aliquā re or in aliquā re, to become distinguished or known in something:

    fortis animus et magnus duabus rebus maxime cernitur,

    Cic. Off. 1, 20, 66; so id. Tusc. 5, 8, 22: amicus certus in re incertā cernitur, Enn. ap. Cic. Lael. 17, 64:

    Have before the mind, have respect to, regard any one:

    ubi gratus, si non eum ipsi cernunt grati, cui referunt gratiam?

    Cic. Leg. 1, 18, 49.—
    B.
    Transf. to intellectual objects, to perceive, comprehend, understand (syn.:

    intellego, cognosco, perspicio): neque tanta in rebus obscuritas, ut eas (res) non penitus acri vir ingenio cernat, si modo aspexerit,

    Cic. de Or. 3, 31, 124:

    jam cernam mene an illam potiorem putes, id. poët. Tusc. 2, 9, 20: (antiquitas) hoc melius ea fortasse, quae erant vera, cernebat,

    id. ib. 1, 12, 26; id. Fin. 1, 19, 64; id. Top. 5, 27; id. N. D. 1, 19, 49; id. Fam. 5, 12, 2:

    ut consuetum facile amorem cerneres,

    Ter. And. 1, 1, 108.—Hence,
    b.
    Rarely of future events, to foresee, discern beforehand:

    cerno animo sepultā in patriā miseros atque insepultos acervos civium,

    Cic. Cat. 4, 6, 11:

    cerno jam animo, quanto omnia uberiora atque ornatiora futura sint,

    id. Fam. 5, 12, 2.—
    C.
    To decide something that is contested or doubtful (judicially), to decree, determine (more rare than decernere):

    quotcumque senatus creverit populusque jusserit tot sunto,

    Cic. Leg. 3, 3, 8:

    quodcumque senatus creverit agunto,

    id. ib. 3, 3, 8, § 6: jurati cernant. Pac. ap. Non. p. 261, 13:

    illum locum tempusque consilio destinatum quid de Armeniā cernerent,

    Tac. A. 15, 14:

    priusquam id sors cerneret,

    Liv. 43, 12, 2:

    certā sorte,

    after the lot was decided, id. 36, 2, 2.—Hence,
    b.
    To decide by contending or fighting (more rare than the freq. certare, and even in Seneca's time out of use; cf. Sen. Ep. 58, 3): ferro non auro vitam ( acc. respect = de vitā) cernamus utrique, Enn. ap. Cic. Off. 1, 12, 38; id. ap. Non. p. 261, 19, and ap. Varr. L. L. 6, § 81 Müll.; Pac. ap. Non. p. 261, 21: nisi esset qui armis secum vellet cernere, Att. ap. Non. p. 261, 17:

    cernere ferro,

    Verg. A. 12, 709 (also ap. Sen. Ep. 58, 3); so,

    cernere certamen,

    Plaut. Bacch. 3, 2, 15; id. Cas. 3, 1, 2; Lucr. 5, 394: pro patriā, pro liberis, pro aris atque focis suis, * Sall. C. 59, 5 Kritz N. cr. (al. certare):

    seu libeat duplicem sejunctim cernere martem,

    Tib. 4, 1, 103.—Humorously, Plaut. Trin. 2, 4, 77.—
    D.
    In gen., to decide for something, to conclude upon, resolve (syn.: constituo, decerno; also rare): praesidium castris educere, Lucil. ap. Non. p. 261, 5:

    acribus inter se cum armis confligere,

    id. ib. p. 261, 6:

    te mihi amicam esse crevi,

    Plaut. Cist. 1, 1, 1 (crevi valet constitui, Varr. L. L. 7, § 98 Müll.); Cat. 64, 150.—Hence,
