Definition sheep

Etymology 1

From Middle English sheep, scheep, schep, schepe, from Old English s??ap, from Proto-Germanic *sk?p? (compare West Frisian skiep, North Frisian schäip, Dutch schaap, German Schaf), beside *keppô (compare Old Norse kjappi (“he-goat”), dialectal German Kippe (“newborn calf”)), of unknown origin. Perhaps from the same Scythian word (compare Ossetian ??? (cæw, “goat”), Persian ???‎ (?apiš, “yearling goat”)) which was borrowed into Albanian as cjap, sqap (“he-goat”) and into Slavic (compare Polish cap). After Kroonen, *sk?p? is instead from the root of Proto-Germanic *skaban? (“to scratch”) via Kluge's law.
