    The correct spelling would actually be stakan (it is difficult to
    correctly spell many words because the alphabet is
    different).....anyway, the word means glass (as in "may I have a
    glass of water). This was just as an aside. I was thinking it could
    be an interesting tidbit for your potential customers.
