|etymtx=Grammatical information: m.<br />Meaning: [[κακός]], [[σκληρός]], [[κλῆρος]] H.; in the last meaning also Cratin. 194 and Ar. Fr. 660 (s. Kock ad loc.);<br />Derivatives: [[διακαυνιάσαι]] = [[διακληρῶσαι]] [[assign by lot]] (Ar. Pax 1081).<br />Origin: XX [etym. unknown]<br />Etymology: In the meaning [[κακός]] since Fick 1, 375 connected with a Germ.-Baltic word for <b class="b2">humble, shame etc.</b>, e. g. Goth. [[hauns]] [[lowly]], [[humble]], NHG [[Hohn]], Latv. <b class="b2">kàuns</b> [[shame]], [[contumely]]. The text is however very uncertain; the form [[σκληρός]] (in this meaning by Schulze KZ 29, 270 n. I = Kl. Schr. 329 n. 1 to [[καίω]]) looks like a dittography (with <b class="b3">σ-</b> from [[κακός]]) of the following [[κλῆρος]]. - On [[καυνός]] = [[κλῆρος]] a very doubtful hypothesis by Bezzenberger BB 27, 171 n. 3 (s. Bq Add. et Corr.). Mayer Glotta 32, 75 n. 1 compares the Illyrian name [[Ceunus]], [[-a]] . - Nothing is clear. DELG splits the word in two, but this too is not clear to me. Cf. Fur. 237

|ftr='''καυνός''': {kaunós}<br />'''Meaning''': [[κακός]], [[σκληρός]], [[κλῆρος]] H.; in der letztgenannten Bed. auch Kratin. 194 und Ar. ''Fr''. 660 (s. Kock z. St.); davon διακαυνιάσαι = διακληρῶσαι (Ar. ''Pax'' 1081).<br />'''Etymology''': Im Sinn von [[κακός]] seit Fick 1, 375 zu einem germ.-baltischen Wort für [[demütig]], [[Scham]] gezogen, z. B. got. ''hauns'' [[niedrig]], [[demutig]], nhd. ''Hohn'', lett. ''kàuns'' [[Scham]], [[Schande]], [[Schmach]]. Der Text ist aber sehr unsicher; jedenfalls sieht [[σκληρός]] (in diesem Sinn von Schulze KZ 29, 270 A. I = Kl. Schr. 329 A. 1 zu [[καίω]] gestellt) wie eine Dittographie (mit σ- von [[κακός]]) des folgenden [[κλῆρος]] aus. — Zu [[καυνός]] = [[κλῆρος]] eine sehr fragliche Hypothese von Bezzenberger BB 27, 171 A. 3 (s. Bq Add. et Corr., WP. 1, 332). Mayer Glotta 32, 75 A. 1 will die illyrischen Namen ''Ceunus'', -''a'' u. a. heranziehen.<br />'''Page''' 1,803
