*skōhaz

Runic: ᛊᚲᛟᚺᚨᛉ Pronunciation: /ˈskɔː.xɑz/

noun · masculine · a-stem

Meanings

shoe

Etymology

Uncertain. Perhaps derived from *skehaną (‘to move quickly’), from Proto-Indo-European *skek- (‘to move quickly, jump’). A derivation from an alleged Proto-Indo-European verb *skewk-, supposedly from *(s)kewH- (‘to cover’) (compare Proto-Germanic *skiwô (‘cloud cover; cloud; sky’)), proposed in older literature, is dubious and not mentioned in Kroonen.
