Derived terms[edit]

All descendants show a nominalization from the adjective with the sense of "stiff", meaning that in late PIE, it was probably realized as a noun, with a shift in accent as a result of nominalization, yielding the noun *tŕ̥nos or *tŕ̥nom.

  • Proto-Balto-Slavic: *tírnas[1] (see there for further descendants)
  • Proto-Germanic: *þurnaz[2] (see there for further descendants)
  • Proto-Indo-Iranian: *tŕ̥nam (grass, stalk) (see there for further descendants)
  • → Proto-Uralic:
