σκεῦος
Appearance
See also: σκεύος
Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Of uncertain origin.[1] Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kew- (“to perform, commit or to cut, hew, equip”), and compared with Proto-Germanic *hawjaną (“to carry out, perform”) and Proto-Slavic *kutiti (“to devise, whirl”).[2] Other theories which derive the word from Proto-Indo-European *ḱewH- (“to push”), comparing to Lithuanian šáuti (“to shoot, shove”) and Proto-Slavic *sovati (“to shove”), are semantically unconvincing.[1]
