*kʷeh₁d-to stab; pointy, sharp*(s)kewd-
verbStrong class 7dto attack, assaultto stab, pierceApparently from a Proto-Indo-European *kʷeh₁d- (‘to stab; pointy, sharp’), albeit without any secure cognates outside of Germanic. Earlier identifications of the root with Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewd- (‘to propel’) are untenable morphologically.
