Comments: In Baltic it is almost hopeless to search for traces of a distinction between *steigh- 'to tread' and *steig- 'to pierce, stab'. Lith. stìgti 'entbehren, nicht haben' can be explained as *'to have reached'. There is also Lith. stíegti 'ein Strohdach aufsetzen, das Dach mit Stroh decken; das Stroh (beim Dachdecken) ausbreiten, hinlegen' + stṓga-s 'Dach', that may be compared both with *(s)teg- and with Greek stôi̯khos, stíkhos etc. For "roof" cf. also Slav. *strēxā (looking similar to Lith. stíegti (?).
