== Finnish ==
=== Etymology ===
Originally the second-person singular imperative of seistä — the meaning “stand” has turned into “stop”. This is however generally no longer considered a verb form, seeing as it has been used as such an established interjection, and consonant-stem verb forms have generally fallen out of use (note that e.g. seistä is defective in modern Finnish).
=== Pronunciation ===
IPA(key): /ˈsei̯s/, [ˈs̠e̞i̯s̠]
Rhymes: -eis
Syllabification(key): seis
Hyphenation(key): seis
=== Interjection ===
seis!
stop! (do not move! stop moving!)
stop, cease, halt
Synonyms: poikki, stop
työt seis! ― stop working!
pelit seis! ― halt the game! / stop playing!
