(diff. Brugmann Grundr.2 2 : 1, 280; s. also Schwyzer 491); an u-stem alternating with this <b class="b2">n-</b>stem is seen in Lat. [[corvus]], MIr. [[crū]] [[raven]]. The words are all based on an onomatop. (diff. Specht Ursprung 118: orig. colour word). - Generally <b class="b3">κορώνη</b> is as name for curbed abjects beside <b class="b3">κορωνίς</b>, <b class="b3">κορωνός</b> separated from <b class="b3">κορώνη</b> [[crow]] and connected with <b class="b3">κυρτός</b> (s. v.). Against a separation in two diff. words speaks the remarkable formation of the Greek word. The metaphorical use of <b class="b3">κορώνη</b> [[crow]] has nothing remarkable (<b class="b3">κόραξ</b>, Lat. [[corvus]], Fr. [[corbeau]], NEngl. [[crow]], Swed. <b class="b2">kråka</b> etc.). Both the beak and the feet of the bird may have caused the metaphors. - From here Lat. [[corōna]], [[corōnis]] with westeuropean derivv. - Cf. on [[κόραξ]].
