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”)[1] has been proposed instead.

Adjective

*kъ̑rnъ[1]

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