Stalk

stok: InGe 41:5,22is for qaneh, "cane"; inJos 2:6for ets, "wood." InHo 8:7, the Revised Version margin has "stalk" for qamah, "that which stands." The Revised Version's "standing grain" is due to this meaning of qamah inEx 22:6, etc., but this translation spoils the figure. The meaning is, "They sow the wind, a worthless sowing, for such seed produces no stalk, it yields no grain."
