> Did you know that just about every English word that contains the letter combination "sk" is from Old Norse? Skin, sky, ski, skill, skid, skull, skip, skirt etc. Also, skirt and shirt are doublets. Skirt comes from Old Norse, and shirt is native English, and they both come from the same Proto-Germanic root.
