This is both (a) more of a mention than a use, and (b) directly in contradiction to the etymology our entry gives, so I've moved it out of the entry:

  • 2009, Nicoline van der Sijs, Cookies, Coleslaw, and Stoops: The Influence of Dutch on the North American Languages, page 93
    Thus, American diamond cutters would talk of a skive (after Dutch schijf), where their British colleagues would say disk or wheel.
