|etymtx=Grammatical information: n.<br />Meaning: | |etymtx=Grammatical information: n.<br />Meaning: [[earthen vase with roundabout nipples]], [[which was used in the mystery-cult]] ((sch. Nic. Al. 217); Ammon. and Polem. ap. Ath. 11, 476f and 478c, H.); pl. <b class="b3">κέρνεα τὰ τῃ̃ μητρὶ τῶν θεῶν ἐπιθυόμενα</b> H.; also <b class="b3">-να</b> (Poll. 4, 103); on the meaning Nilsson Gr. Rel. 1, 128; 270f., 726.<br />Compounds: As 1. member in <b class="b3">κερνο-φόρος</b> (Nic., Ath.) with <b class="b3">κερνο-φορέω</b> (sch.); short form [[κερνᾶς]] (AP 7, 709).<br />Derivatives: Diminutive [[κερνίον]] (Att. inscr., Theognost.).<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: Technical word of unknown origin, perh, Pre-Greek (cf. Schwyzer 491, Chantraine Formation 209). Several unsuccesful IE. proposals: to [[κέραμος]], Skt. <b class="b2">carú-</b> [[kettle]], OWNo. [[huerna]] [[cooking utensils]] (s. Bq; also Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. <b class="b2">čéren</b> II); to Lat. [[scrīnium]] [[chest]] (Persson BB 19, 261), to Skt. <b class="b2">śárāva-</b> [[plate]] (H. Petersson Et. Miszellen 18). - The by-form [[κέρχνος]] with [[κερχνίον]] (Eleusis) shows that it was a Pre-Greek word (thus DELG; wrong Frisk; Fur. does not mention the word). | ||
