Sta is derived. Since the Aryan root stab may have had a variant slap, it is possible that stopa, ‘track,’ is  allied to.   ,, ‘starling,’ from the  star, ,  stara, ; corresponding to  stœr, stearn,  stare,  stare, starre, ‘starling’;  allied to  sturnus. starling indicates the derivation of  ( sparo). —   ,, ‘cataract’ (of the eye), has been deduced in from  starblint (d)  starablint (  staarblind), , ‘blind from a cataract,’ which has no connection with the name of the bird, since it more probably belongs to the same root as   ( starên), ‘to look fixedly, stare.’ In , besides stœrblind, a curious form, pûrblind occurs, the first component of which is  pûr, ‘bittern’;   γλαύκωμα, from γλαύξ, ‘owl.’ Hence the instinctive connection between the name of the bird and the disease is quite comprehensible.  ,, ‘strong,’ from starc (and starch),  starc (and starah), , ‘strong, vigorous, big’; corresponding to  stark,  sterk,  stearc,  stark,  sterkr. To the same root stark belong by a different gradation  gastaúrknan, ‘to become parched, wither away,’  storkna, ‘to curdle,’  storchanên, ‘to become fixed, hard’; hence perhaps ‘fixed’ is the  meaning of the root. strėgti, ‘to stiffen, become numb,’ and suturg (base *stṛga), ‘strong,’ are  allied. ,, ‘starch’ (note the word).  ,, ‘heifer,’ only, properly a  word. Scarcely allied to ; connected rather, like  stër,  stëro, ‘ram,’ with  staira, which is  allied to  στεῖρος, στέριφος, ‘sterile,’  sterilis,  starî, ‘sterile.’ Connected with the following word.  ,, ‘fixed, staring,’ only; probably a  word. the rare starren, ‘to become fixed,’ allied to the  root ster, star, with which the cognates of  and  are connected. With these  sthira, ‘firm, strong,’  στερεός, ‘hard.’ — ,, ‘to look fixedly, stare,’ from the  starn,  starên, which is more closely connected with  than with.  ,, ‘place, stead,’ from and  stat, , ‘place, spot’; from the  ( stęti,  stęte) is derived  , , ‘place, site.’ Corresponding to  stede, steê, ‘spot, place, small town.’ The     is properly an oblique case of the ; in  (very rarely) an... stęte, ‘in place of,’ &c. (as in the phrase, ‘to serve one's turn, be useful’) is not connected with this word , but is based on stat,  stata, , ‘convenient spot or period, occasion, help’; hence even in  ze staten,  zi statu, ‘at a suitable time, for assistance.’ With this is associated  ,  gestaten,  gistatôn, ‘to permit,’  ‘to furnish a good opportunity.’  stata is, like stat ( stęti), a verbal abstract of. —, ‘to take place,’ from  state finden, ‘to find a good opportunity.’ —  ,, ‘stately, magnificent, considerable,’ a derivative of  stat, ‘good opportunity.’  ,, ‘dust, spray,’ from the  and  stoup ( stoubes), ; also, by a different formation,  ,  stüppe,  stuppi, ‘dust,’ which, like  stubjus, is connected with , ‘to fly as dust, scatter.’   ,, ‘veil, sleeve, muff, mitten,’ from stûche,  stûhha, , ‘the broad pendant sleeve on a woman's dress, kerchief, veil, cloth, apron’; corresponding to  stocu, ‘long sleeve,  stúka. The cognate,  étui ( astuccio), ‘case,’ has been derived rom a  *stûkjo. stū̆kô (stū̆kjo) is usually connected with a pre- root stū̆g; stûkan,  stuiken, ‘to pile up, push,’ and  stùgti, ‘to look aloft.’   ,, ‘shrub, bush,’ from the  stûde,  stûda, , a specifically  word, wanting in the other  dialects. Its genuine origin is, however, undoubted. It seems, like, to belong to a primitively cognate Aryan root stū̆, which appears in στῦλος, ‘pillar,’ and στῦω, ‘to look fixedly,’ and so in. <section end="Staude" /> ,, ‘to dam in, stow away, pack,’ from and  stouwen, ‘to put a stop to, arrest, restrain’ (properly identical with  and  stouwen, ‘to abuse, rate, accuse’?). Allied to , ‘to be amazed’ ( a Swiss
