Proto-Celtic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Related to Latin corium (“skin, hide, leather”)[1] and Sanskrit चर्मन् (carman, “skin, pelt”)[2] Ancient Greek κώρυκος (kṓrukos, “leather sack”) looks almost identical except for the vowel length mismatch (which makes Stifter label such a comparison as "deceptive").[3]
