Grammatical information: f.

Meaning: `crow', also `shearwater', `Corvus corone, cornix, frugilegus, Puffinus yelkuan' (Od.);

Compounds: rarely in compp., e. g. κορωνο-βόλος `shooting crows', τρι-κόρωνος `have three times the age of a crow' (AP). - Often metaph. of all kinds of curved or hook-formed objects (cf. below): `tip of a bow' (Il.), `grip of a door' (Od., Poll.), `tip of the plough-pole' (A. R.), `back of a ship' (Arat.), `pathological tumour of the elbow etc.' (Hp.), `kind of crown' (Sophr. 163, H.).

Derivatives: κορωνιδεύς m. `young crow' (Cratin. 179; Boßhardt Die Nom. auf - ευς 46); κορώνεως f. `tree with raven-black figs' (Ar. Pax 628; cf. on ἐρινεώς s. ἐρινεός). - κορωνίς f. `curbed, with tail', of ships (Hom.), of cattle (Theoc.), as subst. `crown' (Stesich.), `curved line, ornament' at the end of a book etc., as orthographic sign, metaph. `end' (hell.); also m. κορωνός `curbed etc.' (Archil., Hp., EM), also PN Κόρωνος (Β 746; Sommer Nominalkomp. 122), n. κορωνόν `knob of bone(s)', τὰ κόρωνα `elbow' (medic.); κορώνιος μηνοειδῆ ἔχων κέρατα βοῦς H., also monthsname (Knossos), κορώνιον n. `Krähenkraut(=?)' (Ps.-Dsc.; Strömberg Pflanzennamen 42); κορωνίης m. `who proudly bows his neck' ( ἵππος; Semon.) with κορωνιάω `id., be proud' (hell.), also `curb oneself' ( κορωνιόωντα πέτηλα Hes. Sc. 289; metr. conditioned). - Denomin. verb κορωνίζω `end, finish' (of κορωνίς; Pontos); also of κορώνη as basis of κορωνισταί pl. "crow-singer", κορωνίσματα pl. "crow-songs", i. e. `begging singer', `-songs' (Ath.). - See on κορώνη Thompson Birds s. v.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [567] *ker-\/kor-v\/n- `crow'

Etymology: The Italic words for `crow', Lat. corn-īx, Umbr. curn-aco `cornicem', make also for κορών-η an old n-stem * koron-, * korn- probable (also in κόραξ and κόραφος? (diff. Brugmann Grundr.² 2: 1, 280; s. also Schwyzer 491); an u-stem alternating with this n-stem is seen in Lat. corvus, MIr. crū `raven'. The words are all based on an onomatop. (diff. Specht Ursprung 118: orig. colour word). - Generally κορώνη is as name for curbed abjects beside κορωνίς, κορωνός separated from κορώνη `crow' and connected with κυρτός (s. v.). Against a separation in two diff. words speaks the remarkable formation of the Greek word. The metaphorical use of κορώνη `crow' has nothing remarkable ( κόραξ, Lat. corvus, Fr. corbeau, NEngl. crow, Swed. kråka etc.). Both the beak and the feet of the bird may have caused the metaphors. - From here Lat. corōna, corōnis with westeuropean derivv. - Cf. on κόραξ.

Compounds: Compp. κορακο-ειδής `raven-like' (Arist.), ὀξυ-κόρακος `with a sharp hook' (Paul. Aeg.).

Derivatives: Some fish- and plant-names (because of the colour and the voice, resp. because of the abode; Strömberg Fischnamen 114f., Pflanzennamen 119): diminut. κοράκιον `small hook' (pap.), plant = ἱεράκιον (Arist.), κορακίσκος (Gloss.), κορακῖνος m. `young raven' (Ar.), usu. fish-name, `Sciaena nigra' (Epich., Ar., Arist.) with f. κορακινίς (Gp.), dimin. - ινίδιον (Com., pap.); Lat.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [567] * kor- `raven'

Etymology: Onomatopoetic word in - αξ, cognate with the diff. formed Lat. corvus `raven', Gr. κορώνη, Lat. cornīx `crow', Gr. κόραφος bird-name (H.). In - α-ξ one assumes since Brugmann Grundr.² 2: 1, 494f. because of cor-n-īx, κορ-ών-η a sonantic -n̥-(but - ακ- is productive in Greek). - More forms in Pok. 567ff., W.-Hofmann and Ernout-Meillet s. cornīx. Cf. κορώνη, also κορκορυγή; κράζω and κρώζω.
