στάχυς
Ancient Greek
Etymology
Probably from Proto-Indo-European *ste(n)gʰ- (“to stick”), cognate with Proto-Germanic *stinganą, Lithuanian stangus (“fixed, stiff”), Latvian stingt (“to harden”). However, the variant ἄσταχυς (ástakhus) could also suggest a Lua error in Module:parameters at line 291: Parameter 2 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "pregrc" is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF. origin; compare στόνυξ (stónux, “sharp point”) and στόχος (stókhos, “erection of stone”).
