SKRYP, sb. bag.  Dunbar, F., 509.  O.N. skreppa, a bag, Norse
    skreppa, Dan. skreppe, Sw. skraeppa, id.

SKUGG, sb. a shadow.  Dunbar, III, 24, 12.  O.N. skuggi.  See
    skog.  Cp. skog, vb. to hide.  Isaiah, XXVIII, 15.

SKYLE, vb. to hide, cover.  Jamieson, quotation from Henryson.  O.N.
    skjula, O. Ic. skjola, to screen, shelter, Norse skjula,
    Dan. skjul, Sw. skyla, Fer. sk[~y]la, Shetland skail,
    skol, cover, protect.  Our word corresponds most closely to
    the Fer. word.  Both are developed out of O.N. skjula.  Cp. 
    O.N. mjukr > meek, in standard Eng.  Norse skjula has
    preserved the original unumlauted vowel.  The O.N. word was
    pronounced sk-iula or sk-jula.  Cp. skjenka, which is
    N. Norse dial. sheinka.  From skj developed sh in
    shielin.

SKYRIN, adj. shining, conspicuous because of brightness, showy. 
    Burns, 210, 87, 3.  O.N. skirr, clear, bright, skira, to
    make clear, skyra, to purify. (Cp.  Norse skjerr-torsdag,
    O.N. skiriþorsdagr, Maundy Thursday.) O.E. scir > N. Eng.
    sheer.

SLAIK, vb. to smooth, to lick.  L.L., 457, 2173.  O.N. slaeikja, to
    lick, Norse sleikja, Dan. slikke, O. Sw. slekia, Sw.
    dial. slaekja.  The Eng. word slick, with a short vowel,
    corresponds exactly to the Dan. word, but may be native.  Cp. 
    M.L.G. slicken. Slikke in Dan. may be a loan-word from
    L.G.  The Sco. slaik corresponds in every way to the O.N.,
    and is certainly a loan-word proved by quality and quantity of
    vowel.

SLAK, sb. a pit, a hollow in the ground, hollow place.  Bruce, XIV,
    536; R.R., 769.  O.N. slakki, a slope, Norse slakke, Dan.

    slack, a shallow dell (Dickinson), Kent, slank.
