𐍃𐌺𐌰𐌼𐌰

Gothic

Etymology 1

From Proto-Germanic *skamō.

Noun

𐍃𐌺𐌰𐌼𐌰 • (skama) f

1. shame

Usage notes

• The line that attests this as a noun is incomplete, and the manuscript it is from (the Gothica Bononiensia) is a palimpsest and very difficult to read. Although the Italian translation by scholars Finazzi and Tornaghi translates the attestation as a noun, it is uncertain whether it is that or a verb form.
• Others (Falluomini, Schuhmann) have read the word differently and claim it is not skama but skapa, in which case the former noun would remain unattested.
