stochen

Etymology
Attested since the 16th century. In the 15th already the derivative. This gk-spelling as well the late attestations suggest an adapted borrowing from, from , whence 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬. However, 🇨🇬 dialects show descendants of this which appear to be native (compare 🇨🇬), so it is also possible that the verb was inherited in northern Central German through and later reinforced by Low German. The simplex did not establish itself in written German, but the frequentative did.

Verb

 * 1)  to stoke, stir (fire)
