*skinō

Runic: ᛊᚲᛁᚾᛟ Pronunciation: /ˈski.nɔː/

noun · feminine · ō-stem

Meanings

plate; rim
piece
shinbone

Etymology

Possibly an n-stem derivative from either Proto-Indo-European *skey- (‘to cut, split’) or *(s)ḱeh₃- (‘shadow’), *(s)ḱeh₁y- (‘to shine’); the former hypothesis appears more semantically convincing.
