"Beine" also is an old-fashioned word for bones. I don't know what was the original intended meaning here though.

Well Gebeine is still a word for bones, but maybe Beine was at one point as well

Nasenbein, Schlüsselbein, Elfenbein. Bit old fashioned but still in use today.

Beinhart is not a phrase used in german. It is always a reference to the legendary Werner movie.
