Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/skōhaz

This Proto-Germanic entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence.

Proto-Germanic

Etymology

Uncertain. Perhaps derived from *skehaną (“to move quickly”), from Proto-Indo-European *skek- (“to move quickly, jump”). A derivation from an alleged Proto-Indo-European verb *skewk-, supposedly from *(s)kewH- (“to cover”) (compare Proto-Germanic *skiwô (“cloud cover; cloud; sky”)), proposed in older literature, is dubious and not mentioned in Kroonen.
