Crīmen from cernō
Hello! Regarding Latest revision as of 01:19, 12 September 2014 on "crīmen" my alteration was referenced with dictionaries indicating the root cer-. Crīmen would be formed as κρῖμα. Was your removal's cause that crīmen does not come from cernō or that it comes directly from the PIE root *krey- or what? Thank you.
Well, it was not my fabrication, it is on that referred dictionary (on which for discrīmen indicates from *discerimen, should this seem more plausible). But could you not just have deleted the *cernimen form instead of the whole etymoloy?
I guess I didn't need to delete all of it. From what I can see, it goes back to Proto-Italic *kreimen, from a PIE form *kréy-mn̥ (oblique *kri-mén-), but I don't know if that form can be reconstructed for PIE itself.
