Sch  ,, ‘to change or vary in colour,’ only, a derivative of  schillen, a variant of schilen, ‘to squint, blink.’   , ‘shilling, money,’ from the   schilling,  scilling,, a common  term for a coin;   skilliggs,  skillingr,  sčilling,  shilling,  schelling,  scilling. Formed from skellan, ‘to sound,’ with the suffix -inga-, a favourite termination in  names of coins (see,  cheisuring,  farthing); hence  is  ‘ringing coin.’ From  are derived  scellino and  escalin, a coin worth about sixpence, as well as the   sklęzǐ.   ,, ‘mould,’ from the  schimel, , for an older *schimbel,  *scimbal, which may be inferred from the  derivatives *scimbalên, ‘to get mouldy,’ scimbalag, ‘mouldy.’ The  form is due to a confusion with schîme, , ‘glimmer’;   schimmelen. *scimbal has no corresponding form in the other  —

,, ‘white horse,’ late , identical with , ‘mucus.’   ,, ‘glimmer,’ early , formed from and  schemeren, ‘to glimmer, gleam.’ This is connected, like  schîme, ‘glimmer, lustre,’  scîmo,  skeima, ‘light, lamp,’ with the root skī̆, ‘to shine, glitter’;   schimeren, ‘to shimmer,’  shimmer,  shim, ‘white spot,’  skimra (see ).   ,, ‘insult, abuse, affront,’ from schimpf (parallel form schampf), , ‘jest, pastime, play, tournament.’ The current meaning first appeared in early ; yet the older sense ‘jest,’ which belongs to  scimpf,  schimpf, was retained till the 17th  (Logau);   schimp, ‘scorn, mockery,’  schumpfe, , ‘paramour’ ( ‘she who jests’). The root skimp, ‘to jest,’ which appears in scimpf, is wanting in the other. It has been connected with σκώπτω, ‘to jest, deride,’ which, with its double meaning, certainly furnishes an analogy for.   ., ‘shingle, splint,’ from the  schindel,  scintila, , formed from  scindula, scandula, ‘shingle,’ the sound of which was perhaps  influenced by  σχινδαλμύς. The word was borrowed from about the 6th, contemporaneously with , , &c. The form schingel,  shingle, is peculiar. The languages preserve the a- form,  scandula;    scandola and  échandole.   ,, ‘to skin, flay,’ from schinden, ‘to skin, peel, ill-treat severely,’  scintan; a denominative from a lost  *scind, , ‘hide, skin,’ which may be assumed in  from  skinn (see ), , ‘skin, hide, fur, leather.’  skin, from  skinne ( scinn), is borrowed from , since  sci, sči, must have become shi in   *skinþa-, from pre- skénto-, has not yet been found in the non- languages.   ,, ‘ham,’ from schinke, , ‘thigh, ham,’  scincho, , scincha, , ‘tibia, thigh.’ They are related by gradation to the cognates adduced under , to which  and  (and ) ,  skunka, meaning ‘bone, thigh, ham,’ are also to be added as further graded forms. Its connection with is probable on account of the meaning. From the cognates   stinco (schinco), ‘shin-bone,’ is borrowed. <section end="Schinken" /> <section begin="Schinnen" /> ,, ‘dandruff, scurf,’ only, from  and ; connected with the cognates discussed under ;  ‘that which comes off in scales from the skin of the head’; hence allied to  skinn (from *skinþ), ‘skin’?. <section end="Schinnen" /> <section begin="Schirling" /> , see. <section end="Schirling" /> <section begin="Schirmen" /> ,, ‘to protect, defend,’ from schirmen, schërmen, ‘to protect, defend, fight,’  scirmen, ‘to serve as a bulwark, protect,’ allied to  scirm, scërm, , ‘bulwark, shield, protection,’  schirm, schërm, , ‘shield, penthouse, shelter, defence’; to these  and  are allied. From are derived the  cognates of  schermo, ‘screen,’ schermire, ‘to fight.’ The early history of these words, which are wanting in the rest of the , is obscure;  σκίρον, ‘parasol,’ is perhaps  allied. <section end="Schirmen" /> <section begin="Schirren" /> , see. <section end="Schirren" /> <section begin="Schiß" /> ,, ‘ordure,’ a form from. <section end="Schiß" /> ., ‘to slobber, slaver,’ only, formed from  and  slabben, ‘to flap,’ slabberen, ‘to spill.’
