Fron Middle High German stihten, northwestern byform of stiften, whence the doublet stëften. Cognate with German stiften, Dutch stichten. The development ft > cht is native, but survives only in a number of relict words, cf. Griecht, Luucht, uechter.

stiichten (third-person singular present stiicht, past participle gestiicht, auxiliary verb hunn)
Usage notes[edit]
