注释
  1. The Southern wordstob means a short, straight stick of wood: "Jim Rozier's skill with a piece of iron and a hardwood stob sets up a vibration in the earth that Sopchoppy worms find extremely disagreeable" (Charles Kuralt).Related tostub and stubby, stob is one of numerous Indo-European cognates, for example, Greekstupos, meaning "stump (of a tree or branch).” In Middle Englishstob seems to have been a variant spelling of stub, with one of its meanings being "the amputated stump of a human limb.”However, the word has chiefly denoted a short piece of wood,such as "a small post or stake or stump of a shrub, [and is] commonly so used in many, if not all, parts of the [American] South"(Charles F. Smith).南方语言stob 指一段短而直的树枝: 吉姆·罗泽尔的铁条或硬木树枝技术使大地呈现一片繁荣,苏普乔皮虫感到极为不快” (查尔斯·库拉尔特)。许多印欧语系同源词与stubstubbystob 有关, 例如,希腊语stupos(树或树枝的)树桩。 在中古英语中,stob 看起来是 stub 的另一种拼法, 并有“人类肢体切断的残余”的意思。但是,这个词主要指一短块树木,如一小段桩子或柱子或树枝的残存部分,广泛用于[美国]南部大部分地区,如果不是全部地区的话”(查尔斯·F·史密斯)
