Etymology: The variation points to Semitic origin, since there a nasal followed by a stop is often replaced with a geminate stop; the word is there attested in Classical Syriac ܣܩܝܢܩܘܪ (sqinqūr, “skink”) with variants and Akkadian 𒆲𒁯 (KUN.DAR /⁠šakkadirru, šakkatirru⁠/, “skink”, literally “mongoose of the forest”), originally applied to another relatable creature, but again listed separately as a type of lizard as well.
