"πύρνος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See πύρνος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /pýr.nos/, /ˈpyr.nos/, /ˈpir.nos/, /pýr.nos/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈpyr.nos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈpyr.nos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈpyr.nos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈpir.nos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: The word is obsolete and without etymology. It was compared with πορύναν (porúnan, “kneaded mass, cake”) and τορύνη (torúnē, “kind of grain”) by Fick, adducing Sanskrit चर्वति (carvati, “to eat, chew”) and चूर्ण (cūrṇa, “dust, powder”) as well. This would lead to the reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European *kʷeru-, which requires a pre-form *τερύνα (*terúna) for τορύνη (torúnē). However, this leaves the υ-vowel in πύρνος unexplained. According to Szemerényi, this word is syncopated from πύρινος (púrinos, “made of wheat”), but this is contestable for several reasons. Furnée connects the word with Basque apur (“crumb”); this etymology seems unreliable, but in any case, the word may well be Pre-Greek.
