The upper surface is rough close to its lateral border, for muscular attachments: the largest of these are the origins of the hyoglossus and Constrictor pharyngis medius which extend along the whole length of the cornu; the digastric muscle and stylohyoid muscle have small insertions in front of these near the junction of the body with the cornu. To the medial border the hyothyroid membrane is attached, while the anterior half of the lateral border gives insertion to the thyrohyoid. The greater cornua derive from the 3rd pharyngeal arches[Wikipedia:Greater_cornu]. greater horn of hyoid bone MA:0002959 greater cornua hyoid bone greater cornu hyoid bone upper horn In humans, the greater cornua are the larger, more lateral projections from the left and right borders of the body of hyoid bone. They are in contrast to the lesser cornua, which also occur in pairs but are comparatively smaller and conical in shape. The greater cornua are derived from the third pharyngeal arches. tyrohal Wikipedia:Greater_cornu cornu majus ossis hyoidei epibranchial of pharyngeal arch III second horn of hyoid posterior horn of hyoid zone of hyoid bone lateral structure
