Grammatical information: m.

Meaning: ψωμός H.; meaning already in antiquity debated; cf. e.g. H. (s. also above): πύρνοι ζειαὶ καὶ σιτώδεις(?). η ὁ κατειργασμένος σῖτος. ἄλλοι χόρτος, ἄλλοι μαγίδα; πύρνα δρύφη, κλάσματα, σιτία.

Other forms: πύρνον acc. sg. (ο 312, ρ 12: coordinated with κοτύλήν, Lyc. 639), πύρνα ( σῖτα: σῖτος) acc. pl. (ρ 362), φηγίνων πύρνων gen. pl. (Lyc. 482).

Compounds: As 1. member in πυρνο-τόκος ἄρουρα (Hymn. Is.).

Derivatives: πύρνηται ἐσθίηται H.

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

Etymology: Obsolete word without etymology. By Fick BB 16, 284 compared with πορύναν μαγίδα and τορύνη σιτῶδές τι H., to which would also belong Skt. cárvati `grind, masticate' with cūrṇam n. `powder, flour'; so IE * kʷeru- (WP. 1, 519, Pok. 642), which requires for τορύνη an older *τερύνα. In this way a.o. the υ-vowel in πύρνος remains unclear; cf. Bechtel Lex. s.v. Acc. to Szemerényi Syncope in Greek and I.-Eur. 29 ff. (with sch. Od.) syncopated from πύρινος (from πυρός `wheat'); for several reasons contestable. -- Furnée 370 connects the word with Basque ap(h)ur `crumb', Bearn. purre `small bread of mais'; unreliable. But the word may well be Pre-Greek.
