Ugaritic

grn - of average quality (?) (DUL 309)

supposedly borrowed from Akk. gurnu. According to Watson 2007: 68 “this meaning has been generally accepted,” but D. Pardee (1985: 58‒59) does not hesitate to connect the Ugaritic word with PS *gurn-‘threshing floor,’ which precludes any connection with the Akkadian lexeme (Kogan 2015: 361).
