OIr. caire `blame', OHG harawēn `mock', Latv. karinât `tease', Russ. kor `insult, scoff'; and perh. Toch. AB kärn- prob. `tease, hit', Pok. 530, W.-Hofmann s. carinō, Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. káirinti, Vasmer Wb. s. kor . - (Hardly here κάραννος, by H. glossed as ζημία, and *καρανίζειν `behead' in καρανιστήρ, -τής, which is derived from κάρᾱνον s. κάρηνον). - S. also κέρτομος. - Note that καρν- cannot be explained from IE (*r̥ would give ρα); so the word may be Pre-Greek.Page in Frisk: 1,790
