Skerry
A skerry is a small rocky island, usually defined to be too small for habitation. It may simply be a rocky reef. The term skerry is derived from the Old Norse sker, which means a rock in the sea. The Old Norse term sker was brought into the English language via the Scots language. It is a cognate of the Scandinavian languages' words for skerry – Icelandic: sker, Danish: skær, Swedish: skär, Norwegian: skjær and Finnish: kari. In Scottish Gaelic, it appears as sgeir, e.g. Sula Sgeir.
