Your own examples of Crane and green fail your test.
Other examples include crone, caravan, Karn (sanskrit) and Karin (Japanese).

You will be very surprised now.

Crane – look at it’s shape. As a bird it is crescent like shape. And as a mechanism it forms angle which was appearing several times during my explanations:



And also some cranes have a crown on his head



This bird is a divine bird in preislamic religions. There were three goddess Al-Manat, Al-Uzza and Al-Lat which were called “three honorable cranes”. One of this goddess was portrayed with two fishes on its head.



If you remember I told that fish is one of the ancient moon symbol. Jesus symbol is fish:



Green – etymologically goes to

Old English grene "green, young, immature, raw," earlier groeni, from West Germanic *gronja- (cf. Old Saxon grani, Old Frisian grene, Old Norse grænn, Danish grøn, Dutch groen, Old High German gruoni, German grün), from PIE root *ghre- "grow"

Growing moon is the epithet of crescent. Crescent is usually called “young moon”.
Root “grow” was already mentioned with connection to the moon in "crescent" etymology which comes from PIE root *ker- "to grow".
In our country for somebody young we say “he is green”.

Crone – the etymology of this word comes to PIE root *(s)ker- (1) "to cut"

Look at the instruments used by ancient people to cut something and will understand what connection it has to the crescent shape.
Egyptian stone knives:



Knife of Eskimo of Siberia


Slavic tribes were having a wearable mascot of the cutting tool. This mascot is moon symbol in their tradition.


Pay attention how english word "mascot" is similar to Moses, Messiah, Mesyac etc.

Why the word “crone” is used to describe an old woman? Because of its shape!


The humped corn is the famous magic character of Russian folklore – Baba Yaga. It is the night witch. With witch celebration in full moon day.

---

Caravan – this word does not correspond to the condition of example. The construction C-R-N must be followed.
But “caravan” is anther exponential construction. C-R-V
KoRoVa in Russia means “cow”.
CaRaVela means “boat” and etymologically gets back to the small wicker boat covered with leather. Leather of the cow for sure.

And what is super interesting that GRaPHic, CaRVe, CuRVe are same source and the ancient way or writing and DRaWing was carving by some SHaRP stick on the parchment – the type of medium made from animal skin. Cow and sheep (ship ) - both horned animals.

Deepest etymology of word “caravela” goes to beetly (scarab) wich if you remember is Egyptian symbol of god and is portrayed with crescent moon under and full moon up. According to official history this beetle symbolizes PASSOVER!


English “bug” phoneticly corresponds with Slavic words “bog” (god) and “byk” (bull)


Karn (sanskrit) –
I have found Karna (करेणु), which means “ear, bore, pierce, handle of a vessel, helm of a ship.”
Ear was already mentioned in Rig-Veda example it has crescent like shape and the ancient earrings mostly had special form which symbolizes god people respect. In India this type of earrings is still wildly used. For example in national Karnataka costume.



Sanskrit "kareNu" is atranslated as elephant – the animal famous for its ears and tusks (white crescent).
And there is the predicted god appears. Ganesha is the god represented as elephant. It has only one tusk according to the tradition.

Karin (花梨) – if you talk about this kind of fruit known as “Karin” in Japan you can see that inside it has two moon like shapes.

Also such kind of fruit is mentioned in the BiBLe. Remember an aPPLe of Adam and Eva?


So as you can see with all wildest range of meanings existing in our mind the set of possible semantic variations is very limited.
You can try to check more words of similar structure and again you will come to predicted semantic core.
Thanks for attention!
