Proto-Celtic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Probably from Proto-Indo-European *sḱeh₃-tu- (either masculine or neuter), from the root *(s)ḱeh₃-.[1] Matasovic[2] neglects that Old Irish scáth partly declines as a u-stem, which is significant because u-stems were not productive and which is also clearly seen in Gothic 𐍃𐌺𐌰𐌳𐌿𐍃 (skadus). Further cognates include Old English sċeadu, Ancient Greek σκότος (skótos), and Sanskrit छत्त्र (chattra).
