|etymtx=Grammatical information: n.<br />Meaning: [[womans headdress]], [[veil]], metaph. <b class="b2">battlements, cover, lid (of a jar)</b> (Il.; cf. Leumann Hom. Wörter 296 w. n. 60, Haakh Gymnasium 66, 374ff.).<br />Dialectal forms: Dor. <b class="b3">κρά-</b>, n., often plur.<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European] [574] <b class="b2">*ḱerh₂-</b> [[head]], [[horn]]<br />Etymology: Compound from [[κάρα]] [[head]] and [[δέω]] [[bind]], but in detail unclear. The 1. member can (with Ehrlich Sprachgesch. 6 ff.; against it Kretschmer Glotta 4, 336) stand through dissimilation for <b class="b3">κρηνο-</b>, i.e. thematic enlargement of the zero grade of [[κάρα]] (s. [[κρανίον]]), but also have arisen from <b class="b3">κρησ-</b> with loss of the [[σ]] before [[δ]] (rejected by DELG); the formation of [[κράσπεδον]] (s. v.) might support the latter. An original <b class="b3">σ-</b>less <b class="b3">κρη-</b> cannot be deduced from it (cf. on [[κάρα]]). The 2. member <b class="b3">-δεμνον</b>, <b class="b3">-α</b> contains a derivation of [[δέω]] [[bind]]; cf. [[βέλεμνα]] s. [[βάλλω]] and [[δέμνια]]. Slightly diff. Bechtel Lex. s. v.
