Sch give,’ could be developed from this (similarly  attests the importance of dice-playing in  life;  also ). The meaning appears in  sčęnčan,  skenka,  skenkja; from  is also formed  escancer, ‘to pour in.’  *skagkjan is wanting. Some etymologists regard the common  as a derivative of  sčęonc, sčę́onca, ‘shank,’ assuming that shanks were used as taps in the earliest times; hence  would mean  ‘to put the tap in a cask.’ See the next word.   ,, ‘thigh, shank,’ from the  schęnkel, ;   schenkel; unknown to  as well as to the other. A of  sčę́onca (see ),  shank, which is further connected with  ;  also  schonk, ‘bones in meat,’  skånk,  skank.  , see.  ,, ‘fragment, sherd, flowerpot,’ from schërbe, schirbe,  scirbi,  and , ‘sherd, fragment, earthenware pot’;   scherf, , ‘sherd’; a derivative of pre- skerpo-;   črěpŭ, ‘sherd,’  schkirpta, ‘notch,’ schkérpele, ‘splinter of wood.’ Akin to ?.    (1.),, ‘scissors, shears,’ from the  schœre, , which is probably ,  scârî,  of skar and skâra, ‘shears’; with regard to the    cesoje and forbici, ,  ciseaux,  to  scissors. In the word was of course dual;  bhuríjâ (Rig-Veda), dual ‘shears.’   schaar,  schêre,  shears, and the   skœ́re,. See.

 (2.),, ‘rock, reef,’ only, formed from the   skär ( skjœr), ;   sker, ‘cliff.’  ,, ‘to shear, fleece, molest,’ from schërn,  scëran, ‘to shear, cut off’;   scheren,  sčëran, ‘to shear, cut or hew to pieces,’  to shear,  skera, ‘to cut, shear, slaughter.’ The  meaning of the root sker contained in these  is ‘to cut or hew to pieces’ (  skírti, ‘to sever,’ skarà, ‘rag’), as is shown by the  skarda-, ‘hewn or cut to pieces,’ which originated in skṛ-tó- (see ). Yet the meaning ‘to shear’ is very old; the derivative. The root sker (whence  kšurás, ‘razor’?) appears in  as ker in κείρω, ‘I shear.’  ,, ‘mite’ (coin), from the schërf,  scërf, , ‘mite, very small coin’;   scharf, schërf, ‘one-seventeenth of a penny’; allied to  sčeorfan, ‘to tear off’?. for a similar development of meaning, as well as  κέρμα,  ‘part cut off,’ then ‘small coin.’  is scarcely allied.

', , ‘joke, jest,’ from  schërz, , ‘pleasure, play’; allied to  , , from  schërzen, ‘to cut capers, hop, amuse oneself’;   scharz, ‘leap.’ These cognates, which are found neither in the  classical writers, in , nor in  generally, are met with, however, in  scherzare, ‘to jest,’ borrowed from .   , , ‘shyness, reserve, timidity,’ from  schiuhe, , ‘shyness, horror,’ also ‘bugbear, scarecrow,’ whence  . Allied to , , , from  schiahen, ‘to be shy of, avoid, scare or chase away,’  sciuhen. Both the noun and  are derivatives of  schiech,  *scioh, ‘shy, bashful.’  , , is based anew on the ;   sčeóh, ‘timid,’ to which  shy is allied;  schuw, ‘timid, shy.’ From the  cognates  schivare, ‘to avoid,’ is derived. See. <section end="Scheu" /> <section begin="Scheuer" /> , (in  and East  ), ‘barn, shed,’ from the   schiure,  sciura, ; a derivative of  scûr,  schûr, ‘penthouse, protection,’. skjól,, ‘place of refuge, shelter,’ skaunn, , ‘shield.’ The Aryan root, skū̆, ‘to cover, protect’ , contained in these words, is widely diffused;  scûtum, ‘shield,’  σκῦ-λον, ‘armour,’  ob-scûr-rus, ‘dark’ (covered), and the  root sku ‘to cover.’ See  and. <section end="Scheuer" /> , ‘to scour, rub,’ early  (unknown to, the term used being ), formed from  and  schüren;   schuren ( scouren,  to scour, borrowed from ?),  skure,  skura.
