Uh - no, MarianneShoshanna, I am a bit confused, because surely both qarnaim and qarne are dual forms - which are of course commonly used for "horns" which come in pairs. The plural is qeranot, construct qarnot, and is used in the Bible. But is the dual in fact used as a more general plural when the meaning is "rays"?
Karnei is not the plural of rays - it is the plural of rays "OF" something, ie: light
The plural of rays by itself is karnaim.
Rays OF something (ie light) = karnei - something
Rays alone = karnaim
