I found another one there, which I had been looking for an equivalent in
another language for times:

_stårkia'_, E: 'girl' we have in LS as 'Starke', meaning a young cow (*a
cow-girl*) older than one year bot not pregnant.(If the same is pregnant we
call it LS:'Queene'; I think its stem can be found in the IE 'gyn-'.)

I don't think it to be a loan from LS, but both words I suppose to be from
the same (dark?) origin.

Greutens/Regards
