different between sarn vs tarn

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.

Etymology

From Middle English terne, tarne (“lake; pond, pool”), from Old Norse tj?rn (“a small lake without tributaries”), from Proto-Germanic *tern?

The word is cognate with Danish tjern, Faroese tjørn (“pond”), Icelandic tjörn (“pond”), Norwegian Bokmål tjern (“small forest or mountain lake”) (Norwegian Nynorsk tjern, tjørn), Swedish tjärn (“small forest lake”).
