# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Schellfisch

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Schellfisch. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Schellfisch, masculine, ‘codfish, haddock,’ Modern High German only, formed from Low German and Dutch schelvisch; allied to Dutch schel, ‘shell,’ English shell; so called “because the cod lives chiefly on shellfish”?. See Schale.

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Schere

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Schere. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Schere (1.), feminine, ‘scissors, shears,’ from the equivalent Middle High German schœre, feminine, which is probably plural, Old High German scârî, plural of skar and skâra, ‘shears’; with regard to the plural compare Italian cesoje and forbici, plural, French ciseaux, equivalent to English scissors. In Sanscrit the word was of course dual; compare bhuríjâ (Rig-Veda), dual ‘shears.’ Compare Dutch schaar, Middle English schêre, English shears (plural), and the equivalent Old Icelandic skœ́re, neuter plural. See scheren.
Schere (2.), feminine, ‘rock, reef,’ Modern High German only, formed from the equivalent Swedish skär (Danish skjœr), neuter; compare Old Icelandic sker, ‘cliff.’

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Schelm. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |

For the development of the meaning ‘rogue’ from ‘wretch,’ compare Schalf, which has also acquired a milder signification. From the Modern High German word are derived Dutch schelm and Icelandic skelmir, ‘rogue.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Schellkraut

​ Schellkraut, neuter, ‘swallow-wort, celandine,’ from Middle High German shëlkrut, -wurz; probably an abbreviation and corruption of the equivalent Middle Latin chelidonia (ch pronounced as in the corresponding French chélidoine); compare Greek χελιδόνιον, ‘celandine.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Schenkel

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Schenkel. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Schenkel, masculine, ‘thigh, shank,’ from the equivalent Middle High German schęnkel, masculine; compare Dutch schenkel; unknown to Old High German as well as to the other Old Teutonic dialects.

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Schemel

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Schemel. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Schemel, masculine, ‘stool, footstool,’ from the equivalent Middle High German schęmel, schamel (schâmel?), masculine; Old High German scamal (scâmal?), masculine, which, like Old Saxon fôtscamel, ‘footstool,’ and Anglo-Saxon sčęǫmul (especially fôt-sčęǫmul), masculine, is derived from Latin scamellum. Dutch schabel, ‘stool,’ as well as the equivalent Romance terms, French escabelle, escabeau, and Italian sgabello, is based on Latin scabellum; hence in Middle Rhenish Schawéll, Schabéll.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Schenk

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Schenk. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Schenk, masculine, ‘publican, cupbearer,’ from the equivalent Middle High German schęnke, Old High German scęncho (Old Saxon scęnkio), masculine, ‘cupbearer.’ From Teutonic is derived French échanson (Old French eschançon, Middle Latin scancionem). —
schenken, verb, ‘to pour out for drinking, bestow, give,’ from Middle High German schęnken, ‘to pour in, give to drink, water, make a present of, give’; Old High German scęnchen, ‘to pour in, give to drink.’ The meaning ‘to give’ first appears in the post-classical times of Middle High German ‘To pour in, give to drink,’ is the primary meaning; it is characteristic of German that the sense ‘to ​give,’ could be developed from this (similarly Modern High German gefallen attests the importance of dice-playing in Teutonic life; compare also zechen). The primary meaning appears in Anglo-Saxon sčęnčan, Old Frisian skenka, Old Icelandic skenkja; from Teutonic is also formed Old French escancer, ‘to pour in.’ Gothic *skagkjan is wanting. Some etymologists regard the common Teutonic verb as a derivative of Anglo-Saxon sčęonc, sčę́onca, ‘shank,’ assuming that shanks were used as taps in the earliest times; hence schenken would mean literally ‘to put the tap in a cask.’ See the next word.
# An Account of the Effects of Lightning in the Danish Church, in Welclose-Square

Published in the Royal Society Philosophical Transactions, Volume IL.
Read Dec. 18, 1755. Having been informed, that the lightning some time since had done damage to the Danish Church in Wellclose-square, Ratcliff-highway, I waited an Mr. Michelson the minister, who lives in the square, to know the particulars, and who very obligingly informed me, that on Monday the 17th past, between six and seven o'clock, there was, among many others, one most amazing flash, accompanied with a clap of thunder, that equalled in report the larger cannon : That the next morning, observing the church-clock to be silent, they went into the bellfry, and found the wire and chain, that communicated from the clock in the bellfry to the clapper in the turret, where the bells hangs, to be melted ; and that the small bar of iron from the clock, that gives motion to the chain and wire, just where the chain was fattened, was melted half through, the bar being about three-fourths of an inch broad, and half an inch thick. Several links of the chain, and of the wire, I have now the honour to shew you, when it will be observed, that the lightning took effect only in the joints. But whether it entered by communication from the wire exposed to the air in the small turret, through the roof of the bellfry, or at the windows, there being several panes broke in the south and west corners, I cannot say; although I presume rather the first way, as it is very possible, that the bare report of the thunder might have occasioned the latter.
The pieces of the wire and chain were scattered over the whole bellfry, nor could it be discerned, that the wood-work, or aught else, had suffered.

# An Account of the Dispute between Russia, Sweden & Denmark, and Great Britain/Chapter 5

CHAP. V.
Character of the Emperor Alexander.
IT may not be unpleaſing to the reader that we introduce here the character of the preſent emperor, while he was Grand Duke, as given by an ingenious foreigner, from whoſe works is taken that of Paul.
He inherits from Catharine an elevation of ſentiment and an unalterable equality of temper: a mind ⟨juſt⟩ and penetrating and an uncommon discretion; but a reſerve and circumſpection unſuitable to his age, and which might be taken for diſſimulation, did ⟨it⟩ not evidently proceed rather from the delicate ſituation in which he was placed between his father and grandmother, than from his heart, which is naturally ⟨frank⟩ and ingenuous. He inherits his mother’s ſtature and beauty, as well as her mildneſs and benevolence, while in none of his features does he reſemble his father, and he muſt certainly dread him more than ⟨love⟩ him. Paul, conjecturing the intentions of Catharine in favour of this ſon, has always behaved ⟨coldly⟩ towards him; ſince he discovers in him no reſemblance of character, and no conformity of taſte with ​himſelf: for Alexander appears to do what his ⟨father⟩ requires of him, from a principle of filial duty ⟨rather⟩ than compliance with his own inclinations; His ⟨humanity⟩ has acquired him the hearts of the ⟨ſoldiers⟩ his good ſenſe the admiration of the officers: he ⟨is⟩ the conſtant mediator between the autocrat and ⟨thoſe⟩ unhappy persons who, by some trifling neglect, ⟨may⟩ have provoked imperial wrath and vengeance. ⟨The⟩ Young Prince requires not the dignity of grand duke of Ruſſia to inſpire ſentiments of love and ⟨intereſt⟩; nature has richly endowed him with the ⟨moſt⟩ amiable qualities, and his character of heir to ⟨the⟩ greateſt empire in the world, cannot render them indifferent to humanity. Heaven, perhaps, may ⟨have⟩ deſtined him to render thirty millions of people ⟨more⟩ free than they are at preſent, and more worthy of ⟨being⟩ ſo.
His character, however, though amiable, is ⟨paſſive⟩ He wants the courage and confidence to diſcover ⟨the⟩ man of merit, always modeſt and unobtruſive; and ⟨it⟩ is to be feared, that the moſt importunate and impudent, who are generally the moſt ignorant and ⟨vicious⟩, will find leaſt difficulty in procuring acceſs ⟨to⟩ him. Yielding too eaſily to the impulſes of others, ⟨he⟩ does not ſufficiently conſult his own heart and ⟨underſtanding⟩. He appears to have loſt his reliſh for inſtruction, on loſing his maſters, and eſpecially ⟨colonel⟩ L'Harpe, his firſt preceptor, to whom he owes all ⟨the⟩ knowledge he has acquired. A premature ⟨marriage⟩ may have contributed to diminiſh his energy; and ⟨it⟩ is probable that, notwithſtanding his good ⟨qualities⟩ he will become in time the dupe of his courtiers, ⟨and⟩ even of his valets.

# An Account of the Dispute between Russia, Sweden & Denmark, and Great Britain/Introduction

Although the convention ſigned at Petersburgh, on the 17th June, 1801, between Lord St Helen’s and Count Panin will not be made public till after it has been ratified by our King and the Emperor of Ruſſia, the following ſtatement proves it to be as favourable to the intereſts of this country as could be deſired.
It is not confined to an adjuſtment of the immediate diſpute between Britain and Ruſſia, and to a compenſation for the loſſes ſuſtained by Britiſh ſubjects, in conſequence of the embargo impoſed in Russia on Britiſh ſhipping (although both theſe objects are effectually ſecured by the Convention,) but it alſo contains a preciſe ſtatement of the ſystem to be permanently eſtabliſhed between Britain and Ruſſia, with reſpect to the rights and ⟨duties⟩ of Neutral and Belligerent Powers. This ſyſtem is founded on thoſe principles of Maritime Law which have been uniformly aſſerted by Great Britain, and which are ſolemnly recognized in this convention, and declared to ⟨be⟩ the rule of conduct to be invariably obſerved between ⟨the⟩ two nations when one may be in a neutral, and the ⟨other⟩ in a belligerent ſtate.
Most important Regulations are eſtabliſhed for the preventing of enemies ſhips ſailing under neutral colours and for providing as effectually as the nature of the ⟨call⟩ will admit, againſt those abuſes of the Neutral flags, ⟨which⟩ have been so juſtly a ſubject of complaint on the part ⟨of⟩ our country.
This Convention includes alſo a treaty of alliance, offensive and defenſive.
The Daniſh and Swediſh monarchs are invited to accede to this Convention, as the terms on which they ſhall receive back their conquered Colonies.

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Specht

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Specht. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Specht, masculine, ‘woodpecker,’ from the equivalent Middle High German and Old High German spëht, masculine; Dutch specht and English speight, ‘woodpecker,’ are German loan-words; also Old High German and Middle High German spëch (from a Teutonic spëcca are derived Old French espeche, Modern French epeiche, ‘woodpecker’). Probably cognate with Latin pîcus, ‘woodpecker’; the name is said to mean ‘speckled,’ and is usually connected with Latin pingo, ‘I paint,’ pictus (Greek ποικίλος), ‘ornate,’ or with English speck, Anglo-Saxon spëcca, ‘spot.’ If Old High German spëht (Dutch specht) be not allied to Latin pîcus, it may be referred as ‘spy, watcher,’ to the root of spähen, ‘to spy.’ Derivative Spessart, equivalent to Spëhtes hart, literally ‘woodpecker's forest.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Speer

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Speer. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Speer, masculine, ‘spear,’ from the equivalent Middle High German and Old High German spër, masculine; common to Teutonic, with the corresponding terms, Old Icelandic spjǫr, plural, ‘spear,’ Anglo-Saxon spëre, English spear, Dutch speer, Old Saxon spër (from Teutonic spër is derived Old French espier). It is uncertain how the word is connected with Latin sparus, ‘hunting-spear’; it may be cognate, or the two languages may have borrowed it from a third. Its relation to Sparren and Sporn is doubtful.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Spat

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Spat. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Spat, masculine, ‘spar’ (mineral), from Middle High German spât, masculine, ‘foliated stone, splinter,’ whence Dutch spaath, French spath, and Italian spato, ‘felspar,’ seem to be derived. Its origin is obscure, as in the case of Quarz.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Spatz

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Spatz. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Spatz, masculine, ‘sparrow,’ from the equivalent late Middle High German spatz, masculine; a pet term peculiar to High German, and allied to Middle High German spar (see Sperling). The assumed originally connection with the equivalent Latin passer (for *spat-ter?) is less probable.
