Etymology edit
From Old Swedish stuva, stova, stugha, from Old Norse stofa, stufa, borrowed from Middle Low German stōve, stūve, Old Saxon *stova, *stuva, from Proto-West Germanic *stobu. Also related to Finnish tupa.
The change from v > g is due to a dialectal development from -β- > -w- > -ɣ- (g), compare ruva.
