corn in Middle Welsh

IPA: /korn/ Forms: kyrn [plural], no-table-tags [table-tags], corn [error-unrecognized-form], gorn [soft], corn / chorn [error-unrecognized-form], chorn [error-unrecognized-form] [Show additional information ▼] [Hide additional information ▲]

Etymology: From Proto-Brythonic *korn, from Latin cornū. It is unclear whether the sense “swaddling clothes” is etymologically related. It could be a reference to the roughly hornlike shape of a swaddled baby, but compare Irish corn (“to roll, coil”) (itself of unclear origin and not listed in the Dictionary of the Irish Language). Etymology templates: {{root|wlm|ine-pro|*ḱerh₂-}}, {{der|wlm|cel-bry-pro|*korn}} Proto-Brythonic *korn, {{der|wlm|la|cornū}} Latin cornū, {{m-g|swaddling clothes}} “swaddling clothes”, {{cog|ga|corn|t=to roll, coil}} Irish corn (“to roll, coil”)
