שׁקוף   n.m.  lintel


  lintel  JPAEpig, PTA, Sam.  TN Ex12:7 : על תרתין מזוזייתא ועל שקופא.

  threshold  LJLA.  TgIChron 9:22 : כולהון אתחברו לתרעייה בשקופייה  all of them were collected together [but read perhaps אתבחרו 'chosen' for MT הַבְּרוּרִים] to the gates at the thresholds [=MT בַּסִּפִּים]. בית שקפיא‏ : vestibules (?)  LJLA.  TgIChron 26:17 : ולבית שקפיא תרין תרין  two each for the vestibules [=MT וְלָאֲסֻפִּים שְׁנַיִם שְׁנָיִם].

In some contexts the reference may refer rather to the entire structure surrounding the door, both posts and lintel or archway.
In LJLA (TgChronicles) this form has absorbed the meaning "threshold" of ˀskwph; see also AIOA 37.
