Pronunciation

Etymology 1

    Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kelH- (to split, separate); compare Ancient Greek σκάλλω (skállō, to stir up; to search).[1] On the other hand, based on Iranian cognates such as Khotanese [script needed] (kār-, to plant), Cheung prefers to instead derive the root from a Proto-Indo-European *kʷerH- (to spread, scatter (seed), sow), and compares Old Irish foceird (throws, puts),[2] though the connection to the Irish is implicitly rejected by Celticists.
