† earth hornn.

Forms: Middle English erþe horn.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: earth n.¹, horn n.

Etymology: < earth n.¹ + horn n.Both quots. are from a source based on Langtoft's Anglo-Norman Chronicle (a1307) which has Homme dist, tymmers Englays suz terre avayent, perhaps ‘It is said that the English had drums under the earth’ (in T. Wright Chron. of Pierre de Langtoft I. (1866) 480). This in turn appears to be based on the following account in the post-classical Latin Life of Abp. Thurstan (perhaps late 12th century): Idem archiepiscopus..fieri jussit in viis subterraneis quaedam instrumenta sonos horribiles reddentia quae Anglice dicuntur Petronces ‘the same archbishop..ordered that in subterranean passages certain instruments were to be built which produced horrible sounds [and] which are called Petronces in English’ (in J. Raine Historians Church of York II. (1886) 266); the word petronces is otherwise unknown and its meaning is unclear. Anglo-Norman tymmers drums, in the passage quoted above, also appears in another manuscript in the form tunners, which may have been interpreted as a variant of the plural of tunor funnel, closer in sense to English horn.

Obsolete.

An instrument said to have been used by the English forces at the Battle of the Standard (1138) in order to scatter the Scots by terrifying their cattle with a subterranean noise.Apparently an isolated use.
