[S]

This letter, as occurring in the beginning of words, cannot, in many instances, be viewed as a radical. While prefixed in some Goth. dialects, it was thrown away in others; especially before k. The same term sometimes appears with s, and sometimes without it; as in cry and scry; creek of day, and skreek. Ss is often used by our old writers as the mark of the pl.; as, horss for horsis, horses.
