Talk:stag

Etymology

What is the source for stag: A colt, or filly? Cgoodwin 05:02, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

I read few minutes ago that OE stagga is unattested. Shall we keep nonexistent notions? Moreover, in the second source Pokorny considers stagga a common Germanic noun, not an Old English one. This makes the quotation of sources for the second version even more exigent Bogorm 11:48, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Most dictionaries have the unattested OE stagga and Proto-Germanic as we show it. DCDuring TALK 17:21, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
