Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *skop- (“to grave, to cut, to strike”) + *-iti. Parallel to Proto-Slavic *kopati (“to dig, to grave”). Possibly of expressive origin, comparable with Proto-Indo-European *skabʰ- (“to shave, to shear”) > Proto-Germanic *skabaną.
Seems to be related to Lithuanian skõpti (“to cut, to grave”), however, the root grades do not match.
