▪ I. shallop, n., † shalloop|ˈʃæləp|
Forms: α. 6 schalop, (6–7 erron. scallop, skallop), 7 sallop, shallupp, shawlopp, 7–9 shalop; β. 7 shalupe, shaloup, 8 shalloup, shalloop. See also chaloupe.
[a. F. chaloupe, prob. either a. Du. sloep (see sloop) or the source of that word. Cf. Sp. chalupa, It. scialuppa, G. schaluppe. The β forms may be viewed either as a re-adoption of the Fr. word, or as an assimilation of the Eng. word to its original; the spellings suggest final stress, but the only verse quot. has ˈshaloup.
The form scallop, skallop, in Florio 1598–1611 s.v. Schiffetto, Schiffo, and Minsheu 1617, is due to erroneous identification with scallop n.]
