  • 1 cerno

    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.:

    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,

    Ov. P. 4, 4, 43:

    Constitit alma Venus, nulli cernenda,

    id. M. 15, 844; Curt. 8, 13, 16; Tac. A. 1, 59.—With acc. and inf.: sensumque inesse et motum in membris cerno, Canius ap. Varr. L. L. 6, § 81 Müll.:

    cernebatur, novissimos illorum premi vehementer,

    Caes. B. C. 1, 64 Herz. N. cr. — So impers. with rel. -clause:

    ut non solum auribus acciperetur, sed etiam oculis cerneretur quem detulisset,

    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:

    * c.
    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:

    quodcumque senatus creverit agunto,

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

    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:

    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,

  • 12 crè

    I.
    clay, Irish, Old Irish cré, g. criad, Welsh pridd, Cornish, Breton pry. Its relation to Latin crêta, which Wharton explains as from crêtus, "sifted", from cerno, is doubtful. If cerno be for *crino, Greek $$G krínw, we should have the root kri, krei, separate, as in criathar, and it is not labialised in any language ( not qrei). The Celtic phonetics are not easily explained, however. Stokes gives the stem as qreid-, but the modern Gaelic has the peculiar è sound which we find in gnè, cè. This points to a stem qre$$--jâ, root qrê, which is in agreement with Latin crêta without doing the violence of supposing crino to give cerno, and this again crêtus. Cf. Old Irish clé, left.
    II.
    crè, creubh
    body; See creubh.
