Stæf for “written characters” and in modern spelling long straight sticks, center supporting poles and lines for musical notations. Cræft — originally “strength, power, force and virtue” — evolved to mean “skill, art, skilled occupation” and includes dexterity, schools, scholarship, also spells, enchantments, contrivances, cunning and water vessels.
