From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Keratin \Ker"a*tin\, n. [Gr. ke`ras, -atos, horn.] (Physiol.
      Chem.)
      A nitrogenous substance, or mixture of substances, containing
      sulphur in a loose state of combination, and forming the
      chemical basis of epidermal tissues, such as horn, hair,
      feathers, and the like. It is an insoluble substance, and,
      unlike elastin, is not dissolved even by gastric or
      pancreatic juice. By decomposition with sulphuric acid it
      yields leucin and tyrosin, as does albumin. Called also
      {epidermose}.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Keratome \Ker"a*tome\, n. [Gr. ke`ras, horn + [?] to cut.]
      (Surg.)
      An instrument for dividing the cornea in operations for
      cataract.

      creatin but more basic in its properties, formed from the
      latter by the action of acids, and occurring naturally in
      muscle tissue and in urine. [Written also {kretinine}.]

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Kartan
      double city, a town of Naphali, assigned to the Gershonite
      Levites, and one of the cities of refuge (Josh. 21:32). It was
      probably near the north-western shore of the Sea of Tiberias,
