Origin: IE [Indo-European] [574] *ḱerh₂- `head'

Etymology: The variant κρᾱαίνω will stand for *κρᾱσαίνω, as gen. κρά̄ατος \< *κρά̄σα-τος to κάρᾱ, κάρη `head', like ὀνομαίνω to ὀνόμα-τος from ὄνομα; so a denomin. from the old n-stem. Prop. meaning `(put the head on something' (cf. καρᾱνοῦν `complete' of κάρᾱνον `head'). - Beside κρᾱαίνω with Ionic form aorist κρηῆναι, contracted κρῆναι, to which again the younger present κραίνω (cf. φῆναι: φαίνω) with κρᾰνέω etc. The form κραι-αίνω may have its stemsyllable κραι- from κραίνω (Leumann IF 57, 157). -Fraenkel Denom. 7, Bechtel Lex. s. v., Schwyzer 724f. and Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 82, (improb.1, 343 a basis *κράσαρ n.).
