Sam the fact that pfinz-tac, ‘Thursday,’ is borrowed from  πέμπτη (see ). Although *σαμβατον, a parallel form of σάββατον, has not yet been discovered, we may infer its existence from  šamba almost with certainty; the corresponding, Ethiop., and Abyss. words have also a medial mb. It is manifest that an Oriental term, sambato, of the 5th was introduced into  and  through  (along with Arianism, see  and ); yet it is strange that Ulfilas uses sabbatô dags without any nasal (  aíkklêsjô with West- kirika, from κυριακόν).   ,, ‘velvet,’ from the  samît, samâdt, ; borrowed in the  period from ;   samîtum,  sciamito,  samit. The ultimate source is examîtum,  ἐξάμιτον, ‘a stuff made of six twisted threads’ ( μὲτος, ‘thread’), whence also  aksamitŭ, ‘velvet.’  and  terciopelo, ‘velvet,’  ‘consisting of triple threads,’ is similarly formed.  ,, ‘together with,’ from  samt, earlier sament,  samant,  ‘together,’ also a  with  ‘together with.’ See  and.  ,, ‘sand,’ from the  sant ( sandes),  sant ( -tes), ; corresponding to the   sand,  and ,  zand,  sǫnd, ,  sand,  sandr,  ( *sanda-,  and , is by chance not recorded). They represent pre- samdho-, samadho- (in m before d is changed into n; see, , and );   ἄμαθος, ‘sand.’ The   and  samp ( sampt), from  *samat, corresponds exactly to the  word;  further   samel, ‘sandy soil,’ with  sabulum, from *samulum?.   ,, ‘sandal-wood,’ only, from  sandalo ( sandal), ‘an Indian dyeing wood’; “from  σάνταλον, which comes from  zandal, but  derived from  candana. The tree grows in the East Indies, whence the wood was brought to the West as an article of commerce.”  ,, ‘soft, gentle,’ from sęnfte, , sanfte, ,  sęmfti, , samfto, , ‘softly’; corresponding to the   sâfti, , safto,  ,  sêfte, , sôfte, ,  ‘softly’ ( soft); wanting in. Do the cognates belong to samjan, ‘to please’? (, from the root ram). .  ,, ‘song,’ from sanc ( -ges),  sang, , ‘singing, song’; see ,  , see.  ,, ‘sardine,’ first occurs in , from sardella ( sarda,  ‘the Sardinian’), a variant of sardina.   ,, ‘sardel, sardine,’ from late sarde,  usually sardîn, , ‘a precious stone’; from  sarda ( σάρδιον).   ,, ‘coffin,’ from sarc ( sarkes) and sarch ( sarches), , ‘coffin, vault, grave,’ also generally ‘shrine, receptacle,’  saruh, sarch, , ‘sarcophagus, coffin’;   zerk, ‘gravestone.’  has a corresponding class in  cercueil, ‘coffin,’ and its earlier cognates. The ordinary derivation from σαρκοφάγος, ‘sarcophagus,’ was repudiated as early as Lessing, because in  ‘signified in countless passages a receptacle generally, a water vessel, a trough, a shrine for idols or saints’; perhaps the  term has helped to determine the  meaning and the spelling of the word with g. As yet nothing definite has been discovered concerning this probably word. It may be connected with serkr, ‘shirt,’ since the Aryan root serg in  sérgėti ( strěgą, strěšti), ‘to watch over, guard,’ has a general signification (, ‘receptacle’). <section end="Sarg" /> ,, ‘sated, satiated,’ from the  and  sat ( sates), ; corresponding to the   sad,  sœd, ‘sated’ ( sad),  saðr (saddr),  saþs, ‘sated.’ A  , in -da- (see  and ) connected with an Aryan root sā̆, ‘to satiate,’ from whose long vowel form  sô-þjan, ‘to satisfy,’ and sô-þs, ‘repletion,’ are constructed. sat, satis, satur; sōtas,, ‘repletion,’ sōtus, ‘satiating, easily satiated’;  ἄμεναι (ā), ‘to satiate,’ ἄ-ατος, ‘insatiable,’ and ἄ-δην, ‘sufficiently’;  sathach, ‘sated,’ súsaim, ‘to sate, satiate,’ sáith, ‘repletion’ ( sytŭ, ‘sated,’ is, on account of its vowel, not allied). The meaning of sad is curiously developed from the idea expressed by. <section begin="Satte" /> ', ',, ‘bowl, porringer,<section end="Satte" />
