@oysteib @Tabularius In Swedish, there's the old-fashioned "skygd" and the perfectly current "skydd" (meaning 'protection'). I would have thought they were related, but apparently not. According to SAOB (the Swedish Academy Historical Dictionary, the Swedish equivalent of OED), "skydd" is a loan from Low German (just like "beskyttelse"), while "skygd" is a Norse word. Language is continually strange.
