Descendant or calque
. The word seems to be a direct descendant rather than a later calque, as the Dutch word precedes the existence of Afrikaans. On Google Books, the earliest attestation I could find is (as ) from 1761: ) Attestations continue at a relatively high frequency throughout the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The earliest Afrikaans attestation of I could find on Google Books is from 1928. 1925 is seen as the year that Afrikaans formally split from Dutch; before that, it was considered a dialect of Dutch. A bit of original research, but combining these facts, it seems more likely that skeldparty is a direct continuation and not a later calque. Morgengave (talk) 21:14, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, but for that purpose inh should be used. der is only used for non-inherited words that are more than one step away. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  17:34, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
