granu (-ae, -e)
f. A moustache :-- Granae, granæ, gronae mustacia, Txts. 79, 1343. [For the termination ae in wk. fem. cf. clonae, 79, 1327, slahae, 87, 1576; but the same form is found in the pl. of strong fem., cf. nabae, 79, 1322. If granae could be taken as pl. its declension would correspond with that of the Icel. grön. pl. granar. O. H. Ger. has weak forms, gene, loca super bucca, granen grenones. From a statement of Isidore it appears that the word was used by the Goths :-- Videmus cirros Germanorum, granos et cinnabar Gothorum. See Dief. ii. 427.] v. grana. granu -ae
