(Schwyzer 487, Solmsen Wortforsch. 143).<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European] [951] <b class="b2">(s)keu-dʰ-</b> [[conceal]], [[hide]]<br />Etymology: A form near to <b class="b3">κεύθω</b> can be found in Germanic in the OE yot-present [[hydan]], NEngl. [[hide]] [[conceal]]. Further one compares Arm. [[suzanem]] [[dive]], [[hide]] (Bugge KZ 32, 38f.; also Lidén Armen. Stud. 122); it presupposes however an initial palatal <b class="b2">ḱ</b>, which does no fit with the words further adduced (Skt. <b class="b2">kuhū́ḥ</b> f. [[new moon]] ("the hidden"), [[kuharam]] n. [[cave]] (Mayrhofer KEWA s. <b class="b2">kúhakaḥ</b>); also the other representatives of IE. (<b class="b2">s)keu-</b> [[cover]] (Pok. 951ff.) have velar [[k]]. Here also some Celtic verbal nouns, e. g. MIr. [[codal]] [[skin]] (cf. Vendryes WuS 12, 242). - Beside these words from IE. <b class="b2">*keudh-</b> there are several with final [[t]], s. <b class="b3">κύτος</b>. See also on <b class="b3">κύσθος</b>, <b class="b3">κύστις</b>, and <b class="b3">σκῦτος</b> and <b class="b3">σκῦλα</b>.
