Staken, masculine, ‘stake, pale, boat-hook,’ Modern High German only, properly a Low German word; compare Dutch staak, Anglo-Saxon staca, English stake, and the equivalent Old Swedish staki. From these cognates, which, like Stachel, are connected with stechen, the equivalent Romance class of Italian stacca is derived.
