στήλη
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
Etymology
Uncertain. Could be from Proto-Indo-European *stl̥-neh₂, from *stel- (related to στέλλω (stéllō, “I set, arrange”)), with similarities to Old High German stollo. Could instead be from Proto-Indo-European *sth₂-sleh₂, from *steh₂- (related to ἵστημι (hístēmi, “I stand”)).[1] Also compare στῦλος (stûlos, “pillar”).
