On: How the Slavic migration reshaped Central and Eastern Europe

This is the accepted theory, but akshually there is no way from a linguistic standpoint that the "k" between the "s" and "l" would simply appear out of nowhere. The linguistics is impossible.

The etymology deriving from σκυλεύω makes more sense.

[quibono → otabdeveloper4]

Interesting, could you expand on this please? What does σκυλεύω mean and how would this transformation work?

[polotics → quibono]

dispossed ennemy, captured, this makes a lot more sense indeed https://lsj.gr/wiki/%CF%83%CE%BA%CF%85%CE%BB%CE%B5%CF%8D%CF%... than the notion "slav" would have somehow evolved "up" linguistically to get a "k" inserted. y'all know languages mellows over time, donty'all?
