使用する際の注意点

• (Ġe)sċieppan is loftier than (ġe)wyrċan, which is the general word for "to make." (Ġe)sċieppan is almost solely attested describing the acts of deities, though a wider sense such as "to create with the mind" is hinted at by the phrase menn naman ġesċieppan (“to give someone a name”).

• The prefixed variant ġesċieppan is much more common in prose, almost to the total exclusion of the unprefixed form.
