/ˈskrɛːlɪ̃ŋɡɪ/

Uncertain. There are several suggested origins:
* Derived from an unattested adjective *skræll (“poor, puny”), compare Norwegian skral (“poor, ill, bad”), Dutch schraal (“poor, scanty”);
* Michael Fortescue et al. (1994) propose relation to skrá (“dried skin”), in reference to the animal pelts worn by the Inuit;
* May be linked to skrælna (“to be shrivelled, e.g. by the sun”);
* Onomatopoeic origin has been proposed by William Thalbitzer (1932), compare skrækja (“to screech, shriek”).

[manuscript spelling] Þat bar til ad gridungr liop or skoge er þeir karlsefni attu ok gellr hat. þat felast vid skrelingar ok laupa vt a keipana ok ʀeru sidan sudr fyri landit. verdr þa ekki uart uid þa þríar uikur i samt.

[tr. J. Sephton, 1880] Now it came to pass that a bull, which belonged to Karlsefni's people, rushed out of the wood and bellowed loudly at the same time. The Skrælingar, frightened thereat, rushed away to their canoes, and rowed south along the coast. There was then nothing seen of them for three weeks together.
