*stuntaz
Runic: ᛊᛏᚢᚾᛏᚨᛉ Pronunciation: /ˈstun.tɑz/adjective · a-stem
Meanings
- short; stunted
- stupid; dumb
Etymology
Of uncertain origin. The traditional derivation as a nasal-infixed formation related to *stautaną (‘to push, bump’), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)tewd- (‘to beat; push; pound’), is phonetically dubious when taking in account related formations such as *stantōną (whence German stanzen (‘to press, cut out, punch’)) and *stantjaną (whence German stenzen (‘to hit, beat’)).
