Sau , border’; corresponding to zoom,  seám,,  seam,  sâm,  saumr, , ‘border, seam’ ( *sauma- is by chance not recorded). A graded form of the Aryan root sû-, a variant of the root sī̆w, ‘to sew,’ discussed under (2). sûtra, ‘thread.’

 (2.), ‘load,’ from and  soum,, ‘load of a beast of burden’ (also as a measure of weight), ‘beast of burden’; corresponding to  seám, ‘horse-load,’  seam. Borrowed prior to the period, probably even before the  migration, from Low  sauma (σάγμα), ‘pack-saddle,’ whence also  salma,  somme. —   , ‘beast of burden, driver of sumpter-beasts,’ from soumœre,  soumâri, ‘beast of burden,’  seámere; formed from  sagmarius. —   , ‘pack-saddle,’ soumsatel,  seámsadol.   ,, ‘to linger,’ from sûmen, ‘to stay, defer, loiter, linger’;  only virsûmen ( versûmen), ‘to let slip,’ and ar-sûmen, ‘to omit.’ The history of the word is very obscure, because it is peculiar to , and appears only in a compound form in. The great antiquity of the compound is attested by frá-sûme,, ‘delay,’ which points to  *frá-sûma, ; we should have expected  versûme. Probably the meaning, which properly belongs only to the compound, has been transferred to the simple form. —   , ‘procrastinating disposition,’ from the  sûmesal, sûmesele, with the suffix : hence ,   sûmeselic.   ,, ‘barberry, pepperidge bush,’ from the  sûrach,.

 (2.),, ‘scraper, spokeshave,’ from schabe,  scaba, , ‘spokeshave, plane.’   schaaf, ‘plane,’  sčęafa,  shave (knife for shaving, hoop-axe),  skafa, , ‘spokeshave.’ <section end="Schabe" /> ,, ‘to shave, scrape, scratch,’ from schaben,  scaban, ‘to scratch, erase, scrape,’ corresponding to  skaban, ‘to shear’;  skafa, ‘to scratch, shave,’  sčęafan,  to shave,  schaven, ‘to shave, smooth.’  root skab, from the pre- root skā̆p;   σκάπ-τω, ‘to dig,’ σκαπάνη, ‘spade,’  skópti, ‘to hollow out,’ skáptas, ‘woodcarver's knife’; allied also probably to  scabo, ‘to scratch, shave,’  skoblĭ, ‘spokeshave,’  skabùs, ‘sharp’ (Aryan root skā̆b).

The word with its numerous senses may have also meant  ‘prankish hobgoblin.’ , ‘to be a sly dog’?. <section end="Schabernack" /> <section begin="schäbig" /> ,, ‘shabby, sordid, scabby,’ from an earlier , ‘scab, itch’;   sohębic, ‘scabby.’ Allied, like  sčęabb,  shab (shabby perhaps influenced the  meaning of ), to. <section end="schäbig" /> <section begin="Schach" /> ,, ‘chess,’ from schâch,  and , ‘king (at chess), chessboard, checkmating move’; the chessboard was usually termed schâch-zabel in , zabel (even in  zabal, ‘chess or draught board’), being changed by permutation from  tabula. schâch was obtained through a medium from  schâh, ‘king’; it is strange, therefore, that the  word ends in ch in contrast to the  cc;   scacco,  échec. This must be ascribed to a fresh influence of the word. <section end="Schach" /> <section begin="Schächer" /> , ‘robber,’ from the  schâchœre,  scâhhâri, , connected with  schâch,  scâh, , ‘robbery, rapine';   schaak,<section end="Schächer" />
