Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: Since Bopp as inherited identified with Skt. śāṇa- m. (MInd. ṇ for n?) `whet-stone, touchstone'; from a verb `whet, sharpen' in Skt. śí-śā-ti (IE. *ḱi-ḱō-ti) ; further with Lat. cō-s, cä-tus etc. (WP. 1, 454f., Pok. 542, W.-Hofmann s. catus). Schwyzer 458 however, considers "nicht ohne Grund", foreign origin. This is confirmed by the variation adduced by Fur. 121.
