scheten

• scheent

scheten (past singular schoot, past participle schaten, auxiliary verb hebben)

1. to shoot

Inherited from Old English sċēotan,^[1] from Proto-West Germanic *skeutan, from Proto-Germanic *skeutaną. Reinforced by Old English sċotian, from Proto-West Germanic *skotōn, from, Proto-Germanic *skutōną; compare schot.

As with chesen, the form with /eː/ regularly reflects Old English /e͜oː/, while that with /oː/ (the source of modern shoot) reflects a dissimilatory shift of stress to that diphthong's second element after a palatalised consonant.^[2][3]
