Sanskrit ṡíras (150)
According to Monier-Williams’ A Sanskrit-English Dictionary, Sanskrit word ṡíras denotes “head, skull, upper end or highest part of anything: top, peak, summit, pinnacle, acme, the forepart or van, beginning the head, leader chief, foremost, first, and of a mountain.” It is linguistically related to terms in other Indo-European languages, such as Greek κέρας (kéras), κάρη (kári); Latin cerebrum for ceresrum, cornu; German hirni, hirn; and English horn. However, it traces its origin to the Tamil root kaṭu (sharpness), and due to the ṭ > r phonetic change, kaṭu (sharpness) transforms into ṡíras in Sanskrit (kaṭu (sharpness) > kar > ṡíras). The following words, related to Sanskrit ṡíras, also originate from the Tamil root kaṭu (sharpness).
