Sometimes claimed to be borrowed from Ancient Greek during the science translation movement, but a fitting form is never given, Byzantine Greek**σκιγκούριον(**skinkoúrion), an extension of σκίγκος(skínkos, “skink”), as if containing οὐρά(ourá, “tail”), is not found. This word is obtained in the same period as Classical Syriacܣܩܝܢܩܘܪ(sqinqūr), possibly evidenced by the resolution of a geminate stop, to a nasal plus a stop, common in Semitic, but particularly Aramaic. It would then ultimately have relation to Akkadian𒆲𒁯(KUN.DAR/šakkadirru, šakkatirru/, “skink”, literally “mongoose of the forest”), originally applied to another relatable creature, but again listed separately as a type of lizard as well.
