Etymology 2
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan*s-k-ywak(“poker, pudding-stick, ladle”) (STEDT). Cognate with Tibetanསྐྱོགས(skyogs, “ladle, dipper”); the traditional comparison with Old Chinese勺 (OC *pljewɢ, *bljewɢ, “ladle, spoon”) appears phonetically untenable, based on newer reconstructions of the pronunciation.
