scateōpour out, gush forth
nounmasculinea-stemcattle, cowsowndom, wealth, goodshoard, treasure, moneyOf uncertain origin; numerous unconvincing proposals have been suggested. Kroonen rejects the traditional derivation from a Proto-Indo-European *skatn-, *skat- (‘to jump, skip, splash out’), via which Latin scateō (‘pour out, gush forth’) was linked, and leaves the origin open, with quasi-Indo-European form *skh₁dʰ-nó-s, based on a presumed relation to Proto-Germanic *skēdaną (whence Westphalian Low German schåen (‘to yield’) < *skéh₁dʰ-e-).
