Etymology

[edit]

Borrowed from an unknown Indo-European cognate of Luwian 𒍪𒌨𒉌 (zurni, horn), Sanskrit शृङ्ग (ṡṛṅga, horn), Latin cornū, English horn, probably ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ḱerh₂- (though Kloekhorst disagrees). Folk etymology explains the word as سور (sur, banquet, feast) + نای (nây, pipe, flute, nay).
