different between sarn vs skarn

English

Etymology

Welsh sarn (“a causeway, paving”).

This SARN could be linked to the Latin root of STRATA that gave ESTRÉE in Old French "road". In that case SARN might have been an ancient *STERNA/STARNA/STRANA/STRONA "thing that is strewn". This root is indo-european.
