|etymtx=Grammatical information: v.<br />Meaning: [[to limp]] (ep. [poet.] Il., also Hdt., LXX).<br />Compounds: Also with <b class="b3">ἐπι-</b>, <b class="b3">ὑπο-</b>, (only pres. a. ipf.).<br />Derivatives: [[σκασμός]] m. [[the limping]] (Aq.).<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [930] <b class="b2">*skeng-</b>, <b class="b2">skn̥g-</b> [[to limp]], [[slanting]]<br />Etymology: Since Fick BB 6, 214 connected with Skt. <b class="b2">khañjati</b> [[limp]] (MInd. for <b class="b2">*skañj-</b>?; s. Mayrhofer w. lit.) and with Germ., Dan. [[skank]] <b class="b2">limping, especially of horses</b>, OWNo. [[skakkr]] [[slanting]] (PGm. <b class="b2">*skanka-</b>). Besides without <b class="b2">s-</b> and with orig. <b class="b2">e-</b>vowel Germ., e.g. OHG [[hinkan]] [[limp]]. As the absence of palatalition in Skt. <b class="b2">khañj-</b>, if for <b class="b2">*skañj-</b>, prob. points to a, for [[σκάζω]] beside the gener. assumed basic form <b class="b2">skn̥g-i̯ō</b> also <b class="b2">*skang-i̯ō</b> is a possibility. An IE <b class="b2">a-</b>vowel would not surprise in this popular word. Germ. [[hinkan]], which also deviates in anlaut, wouls then be unorig.; s. on this Sommer Sprachgesch. u. Wortbed. 425 ff., where for the whole group, which has richly developed in Germ. (Sommer l.c., WP. 2, 564f., Pok. 930), nominal origin, esp. a body-part name ('shank' v. t.), is rightly considered. -- Cf. [[σκαμβός]].
