Etymology[edit]

Kroonen offers a reconstruction of both words going back to a heteroclitic noun *skéh₁ur, *skh₁unós, derived from PIE *skeh₁- (shade, shadow), on the basis of Old Saxon skion (cloud), as well as Old High German skugin(n)a and German Scheune, which he supposes probably developed from the dative stem. In which case both words would have developed from one original meaning of "shade". Thoughts? Anglom (talk) 11:48, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Burgundaz: Certain early Middle Latin and Old French to Modern French, that I have added to the descendants table with a note of uncertainty, even have both this /r/ and /n/, you might construct something from it, although possibly secondary in Proto-West Germanic we now assume. The “Salian Frankish” form and connection I have from here, after here, else there has been too much written about the French and Latin words in the last two centuries.

corrections[edit]

@Leasnam, Why is "pronunciation" higher than "etymology"? And why "====noun====", and not "===noun==="? ---- Gnosandes (talk) 14:51, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation comes first because it is share by both Etymologies. This reduces redundancy. Since there are 2 Etymology sections, the Noun headers are reduced in level, hence "====" :) Leasnam (talk) 15:04, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Leasnam, Aha. Thank you very much. I'll know. :D ---- Gnosandes (talk) 16:14, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
