Res: [tied] Reindeer domestication : two origins

krios "ram"
hrinthar- "cow"
s^r.nga "horn"
xerut- "deer, stag"
kerambos, terambos "stagbeetle"

Are they independent developments from same root k^erh- "head, horn", or may represent diverse PIE names from horned beasts? There is a lot of horned ruminants in the IE area: wild goat and sheep, ibex, saiga, deer, roe-deer, elks, reindeers (maybe), aurochs, bisons, and we may add himalayan and tibetan ruminants like markhor, bharal, takin, yak, chiru.

Your answer was fairly predictable,
so I'm not surprised.
Best.
