sceamol, m.n: a bench, stool. (SHEH-ah-mol / ˈʃɛa-mɔl)
The word remains in the form ‘shambles’, properly stalls or benches on which butchers expose meat for sale. When you find the word ‘shambles’ as a place-name, it was probably where the butchers were located in a medieval village.
Very nice. The Modern German “Schemel” retains this exact meaning, most often in the compound “Melkschemel” (the “Schemel” used for the milking of cows).
