Differing Etymologies

[edit]

This page and scio#Latin claim different etymologies for signum:

> From Proto-Italic *skijō, from Proto-Indo-European *skey- (“to distinguish, dissect”). Related to secō (“to cut off”), signum (“a sign”),

> From Proto-Italic *seknom, from Proto-Indo-European *sek- (“to cut”) or *sekʷ- (“to follow”).
