κερανίξαι
Οὕτως γὰρ ἠγάπησεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν κόσμον, ὥστε τὸν Υἱὸν τὸν μονογενῆ ἔδωκεν, ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων εἰς Αὐτὸν μὴ ἀπόληται ἀλλ᾽ ἔχῃ ζωὴν αἰώνιον → For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16)

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.
Frisk Etymology German
κερανίξαι: {keraníksai}
Forms: auch κρανίξαι· ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν ἀπορρῖψαι H.
Meaning: κολυμβῆσαι, κυβιστῆσαι;
Etymology: Letzteres scheint ein Denominativum von κρανίον zu sein, κερανίξαι läßt sich dann als Umbildung nach κέρας erklären. Mit lat. cernuus kopfüber hinstürzend besteht kein direkter Zusammenhang; s. W.-Hofmann s. v. m. Lit.
