shiker

“Fourth, to back up the likelihood of *médhu- and *mad being linked, we have plenty of examples of words for drink and words for being drunk having come from the same root - I've just given one example, drink/drunk, and I gave another in my earlier post, Hebrew shekar and Yiddish shiker.”

“When my great-grandfather was eighty years old, my grandfather hated seeing him shiker.”
