Etymology 1
From Middle English sheep, scheep, schep, schepe, from Old English s??ap, from Proto-West Germanic *sk?p, from Proto-Germanic *sk?p? (compare West Frisian skiep, North Frisian schäip, Dutch schaap, German Schaf), beside *keppô (compare Old Norse kjappi (“buck”), 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 (“buck”) 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.
