Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: v.
Meaning: κολυμβῆσαι, κυβιστῆσαι;
Other forms: also κρανίξαι ἐπὶ κεφαλην ἀπορρῖψαι H.
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]
Etymology: The last word seems a denominative of κρανίον, κερανίξαι would then be a reshaping after κέρας; but this seems rather improbable. No direct connection with Lat. cernuus prone; s. W.-Hofmann s. v. The variation might show a Pre-Greek form.
