κέρνα 1.Grammatical information: n. pl.Meaning: `the two processes of the vertebrae' (Poll. 2, 180).Other forms: - ναι f. pl.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Mostly taken as *κερσ-ν-α (cf. κάρηνα \< *καρασ-ν-α). An exact parallel to κερσ-ν- \< IE. *ḱers-n- may be found in the Germanic word for `brain', e. g. OHG hirni (\< IE. *kers-n-ii̯o-m beside OWNo. hiarsi \< *ḱers-on-). Semantically tempting is the comparison with OWNo. huern `the two boatshaped white bones in the brain of a fisg(? Fischgehirn'), which however like Goth. ƕairnei `skull' has an initial IE. * kʷ- and belongs to OWNo. huerna `cooking utensils' etc.; cf. on κέρνος.Page in Frisk: 1,832Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κέρνα 1
