I think it's like this:
(*λaN- ->)
*Å¡aN- noun
-> *Å¡ab# "slave" etc
*Å¡ab-aN- n. "someone having to do with slaves" ie. "slaver"
-> Schöffe etc
*Å¡aN-Vl- adj. "having to do with slavery/indenture"
-> Eng. shall, Latin scelus "crime"
*Å¡aN-Vl-aN- n. "someone subject to slavery/indenture"
-> skalk-r, scalawag etc
In short (I hope the above derivations work)
a Schöffe was a slaver, and
a skalk- was a slave.
