Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *kúrnas or *kúrˀnas, cognate with Latvian kur̃ns (deaf). Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (to cut) + *-nъ, but in view of Sanskrit कीर्ण (kīrṇa, injured, hurt), Avestan 𐬐𐬀𐬭𐬆𐬥𐬀 (karəna, deaf), origin from *(s)kerH- (to crop, to injure) has been proposed instead.

  1. truncated, cut
    Synonyms: *kǫsъ, *xudъ
