"κέρας" meaning in Ancient Greek

See κέρας in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ké.ras/, /ˈce.ras/, /ˈce.ras/, /ké.ras/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈke.ras/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈce.ras/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈce.ras/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈce.ras/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: From Proto-Hellenic *kérats, probably remodeled from an earlier s-stem *kéras (like κᾰ́ρᾱ (kắrā), κᾰ́ρηνον (kắrēnon), κρᾱνίον (krāníon)), as preserved in e.g. κερασ-φόρος (keras-phóros, “with a horn”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱerh₂- (“head, top; front of the skull; horn”); see there for more. An older etymology supposes Proto-Indo-European *ḱer-n̥t-.
