Alternative forms

• шкап (škap)

Etymology

Ultimately from Proto-Germanic *skapą. The form шкап (škap) is from Middle Dutch and/or Middle Low German schap (both “cupboard, cabinet, coffer”). The form шкаф (škaf) was likely influenced by the Middle High German cognate schaf (whence Polish szafa). The initial шк- seems to speak against direct borrowing from High German, where sch- was pronounced /ʃ/ early on; on the other hand compare Serbo-Croatian шкаф.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): [ʂkaf]
