Nearest is Arm. [[k]][[erem]] [[scratch]], [[shave]] (sec. aorist [[k]]<b class="b2">ere-c̣i</b>; diff. Meillet BSL 37, 12), Alb. <b class="b2">sh-kjer</b> <b class="b2">tear apart</b> (pret. ><b class="b2">sh-kora</b> < IE. <b class="b2">*kēr-</b>); further Hitt. [[karšmi]] <b class="b2">cut off</b> (with <b class="b2">s-</b>enlargement as in <b class="b3">κουρά</b>; s. v.). Frequent are forms with initial <b class="b2">*sk-</b>: Germ., OHG [[sceran]] [[scheren]], Lith. <b class="b2">skiriù</b>, <b class="b2">skìrti</b> [[separate]], OIr. <b class="b2">scar(a)im</b> [[separate]]. A <b class="b2">t-</b>enlargement in Skt. <b class="b2">kr̥-n-t-áti</b> [[separates]] (infixed nasal present; perf. <b class="b2">ca-kart-a</b>); this would be possible for the aorist <b class="b3">ἔκερσα</b> (if < <b class="b3">*ἔ-κερτ-σα</b>, Risch 219). - The number of nominal derivv. in the separate languages is enormous, partly parallel innoavtions. Thus formal agreement exists between <b class="b3">κέρμα</b> and Skt. <b class="b2">cárman-</b>, Av. <b class="b2">čarǝman-</b> n. [[skin]], [[hide]], OPr. [[kērmens]] m. [[body]] (IE. <b class="b2">*kér-men-</b>); diff. only in ablaut betwen <b class="b3">κορμός</b> and OCS [[krъma]] f. <b class="b2">steering oar, back part of the ship</b>, Russ. <b class="b2">kormá</b> [[puppis]]. - Further Pok. 938ff., W.-Hofmann s.
