Missed the delicious irony:

“Cornet or Cornett, on the other hand, clearly comes from the Old French word cornet (meaning ‘a wind instrument made out of horn’), a word that derives from the Italic branch of the Indo-European language tree.

Furthermore, cornet itself is a diminutive form of the Old French word corn, meaning literally ‘horn’, or more freely a ‘horn-like musical instrument’.

Indeed, the French word corn derives from the Latin word cornu, meaning a ‘horn’ or ‘point’, but also variously a ‘trumpet’, ‘lantern’, or ‘funnel’. The Latin cornu has given us such ‘English’ words as cornucopia (‘horn of plenty’), and cornuto (signifying an animal ‘having horns’), as well as the word corn: a ‘horn-like thickening of the skin’ - such as on the foot.”

Wonder if he has Celtic roots?

[antlers were used as weapons when the Anglos banned the Scots’ regular weapons]

You should see my key chain.
