hmmm there is the same semantism for the root "cor-"
coroi= name for several small predatory birds like the falcons( cf DEX,
"coroi" < Hungarian "karvaly")
coroiat= curved, crooked ( cf DEX "coroi" + "-at")

the semantism for II.2. hooked handle of a door is related not to the
bird but to its beak.
there will be Rom. "clonT"= beak, and there is "clanTã" = handle of the
door.
clonT= cf DEX unknow etym. compare with Bg. "kljunec"
clanTã= cf DEX compare with onomatopea "clanT". Amusing here is that the
onomatopea "clanT" should mean the noise made by the handle of the door
and "clanTã" should be derived from "clanT".

Seeing the Latin & Greek corespondences one tend to be very susceptible
with these onomatopeas...
