Thanks for your answar, Piotr
When thinking about it,it seems that this suffixe,in its denominal
function is still doing some job, even in modern scandinavian.
Norwegian has a denominal -sk- suffixe. Examples:
vaske = wash (*vatn-sk-e)
gran-sk-e = scrutinize (probably from grand = a small part of
something)
grøn-sk-e = to look green
fran-sk-e (seg) = to behave like an frenchman
ren-sk-e to clean (from ren = clean)
