Etymology 1 and 2
Both would better merge, as fuel is poked (stoke) and fire is stirred up (stoke). Such would be Dutch stoken:. Such is also the case with and, respectively. Again, such is also the case with 쑤시개 and 쏘시개, respectively, just due to the phono-semantic shift from the same origin 쑤시다. --KYPark (talk) 04:35, 5 March 2013 (UTC) -- Modified. --KYPark (talk) 05:35, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
