Is shelf actually related to carve?

The English etymology claims that shelf is distantly related to carve, but when I look at the Proto-Indo-European roots of the words, I get *(s)kelH- for shelf and *gerbʰ- for carve. So I don't think these two words are related. Tc14Hd (talk) 19:05, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
