*sket- to drive forward scatō to gush forth, swarm skàsti to jump, hop *(s)kewd-

verb Strong class 2 to shoot (especially of an arrow), dash Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewd- (‘to advance, propel’), and compared with Albanian hedh (‘to throw’). However, Kroonen prefers to take the word as a back-formation from the iterative verb *skuttōną (‘to shoot’) (whence Old Norse skotra (‘to shove, push’), Icelandic skota (‘idem’)), which he derives from a Proto-Indo-European *sket- (‘to drive forward’), and connects with Lithuanian skàsti (‘to jump, hop’), Latin scatō (‘to gush forth, swarm’).
