[[foot of a doric column]], compound of [[στῦλος]] and <b class="b3">βῆ-ναι</b> with <b class="b3">τα-</b>suffix (Dor. inscr., Pl.

[[pillar]] with suffixal <b class="b2">l-n-</b>variation (Benveniste Origines 43); the basic verb is in Greek represented by [[στύω]] (s. v.). Here also with diff. ablaut [[σταυρός]] and [[στοά]] (s. vv.). Cf. further [[στύπος]]. -- The length of the vowel is rather difficult with the proposed etymology; I rather suspect that the word is of Pre-Greek origin
