The Greek on this is incorrect... A verb with that ending is a first person conjugate and "skopew" means "I'm going". Scope came to English through the Greek words "skopos" (σκοπός) meaning "target" and "skopein" (σκοπειν) meaning "to look"... which is why the word scope has 2 very different meanings.
