单词 σκάπτω
释义

σκάπτω

Ancient Greek

Etymology

The basis of this verb is either σκαπ- or σκαφ-. In the first case, the relic Latin scapulae (shoulder blades) has been compared, assuming that it originally meant "shovel" as a primary agent noun. In the second case, σκάπτω (skáptō) could formally correspond to a verb for "plane, scratch", in Latin scabō (to scratch, scrape), Proto-Germanic *skabaną (to shave, scrape), Lithuanian skabiù (to scoop out with a chisel), to which the Slavic group of Russian ско́бель (skóbelʹ, spokeshave) is connected, suggesting a derivation from Proto-Indo-European *skabʰ- (to scratch). Connection with σκήπτω (skḗptō, to prop, stay) and σκίπων (skípōn, staff, crutch) is formally and semantically unfeasible. Considering that related terms, like κάπετος (kápetos, ditch, trench), σκάφαλος (skáphalos, one who draws water) and σκαφλεύς (skaphleús), seem to be Pre-Greek, Beekes suggests that the verb could be a loan from a European substrate language.
