The origin of the cognates is obscure; it is scarcely derived from the root slū̆t, ‘to lock,’ as if hail were regarded as ‘that which is bound together compared with the soft snowflakes and the streaming rain.’ —   , or, by a curious corruption,, ‘white as hail’ ( wîzer dan ein slôȥ, ‘whiter than a hailstone,’ occurs once).   ,, ‘chimney, flue, channel,’ from and  slât, , ‘chimney, fireside, mouth of an oven.’ A word peculiar to ; of obscure origin. <section end="Schlot" /> ,, ‘to shake, hang loose, dangle,’ from the  slottern, intensive of  sloten, ‘to quiver.’   slodderen, ‘to shake’; of obscure origin. <section begin="Schlucht" /> ,, ‘ravine, gorge,’ only, formed from , for earlier  and  Schluft; for  cht, representing  ft, see , , and.

The stem is not found elsewhere; its origin is obscure. <section end="schlürfen" /> <section begin="Schlüssel" /> ,, ‘key,’ from the  slüȥȥel,  sluȥȥil, ; corresponding to  slutil,  sleutel.
