Verb

IPA: /sku.nɑ́ː.ti/ [Vedic], /s̪kuˈn̪ɑː.t̪i/ [Classical] Forms: skunā́ti [romanization], स्कु [root]
Etymology: The oldest form of the verb, आ स्कुनोति (ā skunóti, class 5) (AV 12,4,6), has the meaning 'make incisions into the ears of cattle'. From Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewh₂- (“to poke, cut into, tear”), related to Hittite iskunant- (“spotted”) and Hittite iskunahhis (“marked”, 3sg.past), Lithuanian kiáuras (“perforated”), and maybe Proto-Germanic *hūdiz, Latin cutis (“skin”), Lithuanian kiáutas (“shell, rind, peel”) via the connection 'flaying' < 'tearing' (just as Ancient Greek δέρμα (dérma, “skin”) is from δέρω (dérō, “to flay”)).
