See στήλη in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /stɛ̌ː.lɛː/, /ˈsti.li/, /ˈsti.li/, /stɛ̌ː.lɛː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈste̝.le̝/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈsti.li/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈsti.li/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈsti.li/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Uncertain. Could be from Proto-Indo-European *stl̥-n-eh₂, from *stel- (related to στέλλω (stéllō, “I set, arrange”)), with similarities to Old High German stollo. Could instead be from Proto-Indo-European *sth₂-sleh₂, from *steh₂- (related to ἵστημι (hístēmi, “I stand”)). Also compare στῦλος (stûlos, “pillar”) and στάλιξ (stálix, “stake”).
