Note, however, to sob,  sobbin,  *sobbian, ‘to sob, sigh,’ which may be allied to  sûfteôn. ,, ‘himself, herself,’ &c., from the  sich,  and ,  sih, ; corresponding to the   and  sik,. se, ἐ,  sę,, ‘himself,’ &c. (sebě,, like sibi);  sva, ‘own,’  suus,  ἑός, ὅς. Hence even in Aryan there existed a reflex. sve-, se-. Further details belong to grammar.  ,, ‘sickle,’ from the  sichel,  sihhila, ; corresponding to  zikkel,  sicol,  sickle. It is perhaps borrowed from secula ( segolo, ‘bill, hedging bill’). On account of the agreement of the with the  term, it must have been introduced in the 5th, which date also explains the permutation of  k to  ch. On the other hand, and its cognates may be regarded as genuine  words ( sikilô-); the  word looks like a diminutive of , which points to  sëko-, and more remotely to the Aryan root seg, sok (see ).  ,, ‘sure, certain, trusty,’ from sicher,  sihhū̆r, ‘careless, unconcerned; sure, protected, confident’; to these are allied  and  sicor, ‘free from guilt and punishment,’  sîker,  zeker ( sihhorô, ‘to justify, protect, promise, vow,’  sicorôn, ‘to set free’). It is based on the common West loan-word  sêcûrus (phonetic intermediate form sĕcûrus, the accent of which was Germanised when the word was borrowed);   sicuro,  sûr. The term was naturalised in before the 7th, as is shown by the permutation of k to ch. Was it first introduced through the medium of legal phraseology? sihhorôn, ‘to justify, purgare.’  ,, ‘sight,’ from siht,  , ‘appearance, view’; verbal abstract from ;   sight, from to see.  ,, ‘to sift, winnow,’ only, formed from  sichten, earlier  zichten, ‘to sift’; these are derived from an older siften, with a  change of ft to ht;  ziften, with an abnormal ft (for gt), is based on zeef, ‘sieve.’   siftan,  to sift.
