jaw
English
Etymology 1
From Middle English jawe, jowe, geowe, alteration of *chawe (in early Modern English chawe, chaw), from Proto-Germanic *kaw? (compare Middle Dutch kauwe (“fish jaw”), kouwe (“mouth cavity”), dialectal German Käu, Keu (“jaw, donkey jowl”)), gradation-variant of *kew? (compare Old English ??an (pl.) ‘gills’, West Frisian kiuw (“gill”), Dutch kieuw (“gill”)), noun from Proto-Germanic *kewwan? (compare English chew). More at chew. Alteration probably influenced by Middle English jolle, chaul (“jowl”), which it replaced (see jowl).

shoe
English
Etymology
From Middle English sho, shoo, from Old English s??h (“shoe”), from Proto-West Germanic *sk?h, from Proto-Germanic *sk?haz (“shoe”), of unclear etymology; possibly a derivation from *skehan? (“to move quickly”), from Proto-Indo-European *skek- (“to move quickly, jump”).
Eclipsed non-native Middle English sabatine, sabatoun (“shoe”) from Medieval Latin sabat?num, sabatum (“shoe, slipper”) (compare Old Occitan sabat?, Spanish zapato (“shoe”)).
The archaic plural shoon is from Middle English shon, from Old English sc?n, sc?um (“shoes”, dative plural) and sc?na (“shoes'”, genitive plural); it is cognate with Scots shuin (“shoes”).

- enPR: sho?o, IPA(key): /?u?/
