Adjective [Plautdietsch]

Etymology: From Middle Low German schêf, from Old Saxon *skêf, from Proto-West Germanic *skaib, from Proto-Germanic *skaibaz (“crooked”), of disputed ultimate origin. Perhaps from the same source as *skeuhaz (“frightened, shy”). Another possibility is Proto-Indo-European *skeh₂iwos, the source of Latin scaevus (“on the left side”).
