Albanian

Etymology 1

From kep. Beside shqep, an Albanian formation with the intensive prefix sh-, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Albanian *skaipa. Compare Old Norse skífa (“to split”), Old Frisian skīvia (“to divide”)[1] and perhaps English shape.

Verb

shkep (aorist shkepa, participle shkepur)

  1. to hew, chisel, sew, stich

Etymology 2

A parallel form is shkrep, continuing (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Albanian *krepa (“body”), cognate to Sanskrit कृप् (ḱṛp, “shape, beautiful appareance”), Latin corpus (“body”), Old High German hrēf (“belly”). Similar sense development in Germanic (compare Gothic galeiks (“like”), from leik (“body”)).[2]

Verb

shkep (aorist shkepa, participle shkepur)

  1. to resemble
