 * The verb is scathe. I think this is an old word. I'll have a look. Equinox ◑ 21:35, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Century Dictionary lists scath as an erroneous spelling of scathe:. Is is perhaps a dialectal word (cf. Scots, )? Leasnam (talk) 21:39, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, The New And Complete Dictionary Of The English Language (Ash), does list this word as a verb: "To waste, to destroy, to damage", so, 1). A noun "harm, injury"; and 2). a verb, an alterantive form of scathe:? Leasnam (talk) 21:44, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, it's in Shakespeare: "This trick may chance to scath you." Equinox ◑ 23:04, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Was that after respelling? Shakespeare may have used a misspelling. Bleakgh (talk) 00:09, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
