'junge Kuh, die noch nicht gekalbt hat,' A. S. styrc, Sc. stirk.-Stauche. It would appear that the Anglo-Saxon stocu cited by Kluge should be (hand-)stoc (pl. stocu). Hpt. G1. 525-6 give hand-stoca 'manicas,' and hand-stocu [in the margin hand stoce] ' manicae.' Leo, A. S. Glossar 206, 5 defines the word: 'Der Armel, eigentlich die Handtrommete.' This would point to Scottish 'stock and horn, stock-horn.' The further definitions of Stauche 'Kopftuch, Schleier, Tuch, Schtirze,' render it extremely probable that the word is identical with Engl. 'stock-sleeve' and 'upper-stocks.'-stauen. Whatever the etymology of this word, Engl. 'to stow,' with its extraordinary similarity in meaning and use, must be one of the nearest cognates.-stechen. M.

Were there any doubts as to the identity of Zelter with the latter word, the following hitherto unnoticed passage in Parzival 779, I would seem to set them at rest: Senftecliche und doch in vollen Zelt kom si ritende iiber velt, ' came riding full til.'
