German

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From northernMiddle High Germanschief,schīf (etc.), fromMiddle Low Germanschêf, fromOld Saxon*skêf, fromProto-West Germanic*skaib, fromProto-Germanic*skaibaz.

Regular High German cognates exist only in north-westernCentral German; compareCentral Franconianscheif, northernmostLuxembourgishscheef. Otherwise it was borrowed from Low German into the colonial dialects, i.e.East Central German, with fallible phonetic interpretation of the original form (hence variously-ie-, -ī-, -ē-, -ei-, -b-, -f-, etc.). The word established itself in standard German during the 18th century. Cognate withDutchscheef,Old English*sc(e)āf (inscāffōt),Old Norseskeifr.
