It was never resolved, really. One person reasoned that since both words come from "crena" that they must mean the same thing, and we decided to leave it at that. Now, thanks to your post, I know that this is not the case...I really would like to share this information with everyone, but I doubt that anyone will remember the original discussion at this point.
