Equivalent forms in other Germanic languages are Middle Dutch stoteren (Dutch stotteren), Middle Low German stoteren (modern Low German stötern), modern German stottern (from Low German), Swedish dialect stutra, Norwegian stotra (Ross). The late date of the appearance of the word in English is remarkable; possibly the frequentative formation was suggested by the Dutch form.
