the modern spelling in ö is a hypercorrection based on the phonology of the dialect of Uri, as in Göschenen < *cascina. It is unclear whether the -d- in the forms Schellenden, Geschenden is anaptyctic or if it represents a Rumantsch suffix complex *-ione-ata- (as it were *skal-ion-ata- > *skalinda > schellenden; RN 2,1033). A popular etymology connecting German schellen "to ring, resound" is reported by Brandstetter, 'Urseren', Vaterland 69 (1907). ortsnamen.chArhivirano 2019-06-27 na Wayback Machine.
