Stunt and Stint.
From the Chattanooga Times.

From the Chattanooga Times.
"Stunt" is a good word, not
archaic. 1t means to set limits
on. If one is TO do a stunt he
is to do something the labor on
which is fixed, restricted. To
stunt an animal is to stop it's
growth, thus restricting it's
size. The term is essentially
synonymous with "stent," Both
are good strong Saxon and
stand in all standard lexicons.
