Etymology
The basis of this verb is either σκαπ- or σκαφ-. In the first case, the relic 🇨🇬 has been compared, assuming that it originally meant "shovel" as a primary agent noun. In the second case, could formally correspond to a verb for "plane, scratch", in 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, to which the Slavic group of 🇨🇬 is connected, suggesting a derivation from. Connection with and  is formally and semantically unfeasible. Considering that related terms, like, and , seem to be Pre-Greek, Beekes suggests that the verb could be a loan from a European  language.
