<div><font size="2">There is another term that might contribute to this
string, 'shire' & its remote cognate in Afrikaans 'skêr' =
scissors & 'skeer' = shave. Shire origionally meant a 'division' of the
kingdom, a 'department' I suppose the French would say. A Sherriff took the
rents of the shire, was in fact the 'scire geriva' = shire provisioner
(practically all taxes in those days were food-rent). I can see the structure
'sk-vowel-r' deriving from & giving meaning to the convolutions of the terms
'divider' or 'separator'. 'Geriewe' = provisions in Afrikaans.</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font size="2">(Ted says) </font>There seems to be divergence
from 'Schore' as related to shore, body of water, etc. and 'Score',
'Scora' which seems to be related to scoring of a surface, and the sandpaper
references 'Skor'. Is it the difference between the soft and hard -
'sh' verses 'sk'. different words = different meanings?<br><br><font size="2">By the
way, 'van Schoor' is a respected family in South Africa also.</font></div>
