Here's a breakdown:
* Scrib is used in words related to writing, such as:
* scribe: a person who writes or copies documents
* script: a written text, especially for a play or movie
* inscribe: to write or engrave words on a surface
* describe: to give an account of something in words
* subscribe: to agree to receive something regularly
* Scrip is often used in words related to written documents or certificates, such as:
* script: a written text, especially for a play or movie
* scripture: sacred writings
* prescription: a written order from a doctor for medicine
* transcript: a written copy of a spoken or recorded document
While both roots share the same origin, they have slightly different connotations. "Scrib" is more general and encompasses a wider range of writing-related meanings, while "scrip" is more specific and often refers to written documents or certificates.
