shkop

== Albanian == === Alternative forms === (plurals): shkopinj, shkopa shkopîj, shkopî — Gheg shqep, shqepë, shqepinj — dialectal shkopin — Borgo Erizzo === Etymology === Akin to Doric Greek σκᾶπος (skâpos, “branch”) and Latin scāpus (“shaft, stem”). A common inheritance is unlikely as initial *sk- generally yields h-, so it must be either a borrowing from Doric or, in view of the -ā- > -o- shift, an early borrowing from Latin. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈʃkop/ Rhymes: -op === Noun === shkop m (plural shkopinj, definite shkopi, definite plural shkopinjtë) stick, pole, staff, rod, baton Synonyms: stap, zdap, drang shkop stafete ― relay baton shkop gome ― truncheon (literally, “rubber baton”) sceptre Synonym: skeptër billiard cue Synonym: stekë violin bow Synonym: hark walking cane Synonym: bastun pin connecting the ploughshare to the handle (colloquial, figurative) blow (especially if with a stick) Synonym: goditje great reproach, rebuke Synonym: qortim coercion, forceful obligation, violence Synonyms: detyrim, dhunë threat Synonym: kërcënim (in the plural) chopsticks (eating utensil) (colloquial, derogatory) idiot, boor Synonyms: hu, budalla rail, fishplate Synonym: hekurudhë (dialectal) lath ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== === References === “shkop,~i”, in FGJSSH: Fjalor i gjuhës së sotme shqipe [Dictionary of the modern Albanian language]‎[1], 1980, page 1864ab Beekes, Robert S.
