So, let's begin by going deep into the ground down the shafta or shaft as English speakers may call it. There's a couple of different places which could serve as the possible root of this word, after the obvious Proto-Indo-European skapos. One might assume that Latin, the source of many words in the Brythonic languages, would have been the source, scapus. It cognates nicely to the Proto-Indo-European but alas did not retain its original meaning. It did, however, give English its word scape. The second possible, and much more likely root, of shafta is from the Proto-Germanic skaftaz. This developed into the Old English sceaft before becoming the Middle and Contemporary English shaft. This was then adopted into Cornish, more or less. But how can we be sure that this is the root, well let's have a look at our Brythonic cousins. In Welsh we have siafft whereas the Breton is barr. The Breton comes from the Proto-Celtic barko meaning spear or shaft, this become bêr (pike/spear) in Welsh and does not appear to exist in contemporary Cornish anymore. Only Cornish and Welsh were thusly exposed to English, so we can say with some certainty that the Germans gave us shafta.
