Etymology[edit]
Borrowed from an unknown Indo-European cognate of Luwian [script needed] (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”).
Noun[edit]
سرنا • (sornâ) (plural سرناها (sornâ-hâ))
