For closer comparison esp. the following form can be used: 1. <b class="b3">ἀπο-σχίδ-ες</b> = Skt. <b class="b2">apa-chíd-</b> f. [[section]], [[clipping]]. 2. <b class="b3">σχιστός</b> = Lat. [[scissus]] (from <b class="b2">*scid-to-s</b>), Av. <b class="b2">a-sista-</b>; diff. Skt. <b class="b2">chinná-</b> (from <b class="b2">*chid-ná-</b>). 3. Aor. <b class="b3">σχίσαι</b>, <b class="b3">-ασθαι</b>: Skt. aor. midd. <b class="b2">chit-s-i</b> (cf. the reserved remarks in Schwyzer 751). 4. A trace of the old nasalpresent in Lat. <b class="b2">sci-n-dō</b>, Skt. <b class="b2">chi-ná-d-mi</b>, pl. <b class="b2">chi-n-d-ánti</b> [[cut off]], [[split]] not retained in [[σκινδάλαμος]] etc. s.v.. On the other hand the yod-present <b class="b3">σχίζω</b> is isolated and is like the other verbforms notably a Greek. innovation.

Beside <b class="b3">σχίζω</b> stands with full grade Lith. <b class="b2">skíedžiu</b> [[separate]], [[divide]]. 5.
