šķīvis

Etymology
Borrowed from Middle High German schive (“disk, round plate, dish”), or maybe from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Middle Dutch schijf or an East Frisian word (compare (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Saterland Frisian Schieuwe, Skieuwe; also compare German Scheibe). The borrowing is first mentioned in 17th-century dictionaries (as šķīva), in competition with another borrowing, tallerķis, telerķis, telēķis (compare German Teller). In the 19th century, a form šķīve is mentioned, especially from Kurzeme, while telerķis was more frequent in Vidzeme. A. Kronvalds used both forms to translate German Teller (šķīvis (telēķis), in 1863). The form šķīvis became standard in the literary language by the end of the 19th century.[1]
