Creation and Usage Notes

The loss of the final syllable here is a bit irregular, but it seemed like the similarity to "heifer" might have hastened its exodus. Regarding the etymology, the idea is the words for "man", "woman", "boy", and "girl" were replaced by common roles—specifically, lifters or hefters (hef), planners (plan), scouts (skat), and gatherers (gada). Naturally those connections were lost completely after not too long, but the words remained.
