Usage notes
* Although stela'' and ''stele'' were used in antiquity for pillars and columns generally, and continued to carry that meaning when their use was revived in English archaeology and architecture in the 18th and 19th century, respectively, present usage usually distinguishes ''obelisks'', ''columns'', ''shafts'' (the body of a column between the capital and the pediment), etc., from ''stela'' and ''stele , which are used to refer to engraved slabs or small pillars. * Furthermore, although the terms still refer to small pillarlike gravestones from antiquity, the similar-looking herms'' are now often distinguished, as are modern ''gravestones'', ''monuments'', ''boundary markers , etc. * The terms do sometimes refer to undecorated rocks when they have been raised by artificial means in prehistoric times, particularly when they are slab-like, but the large Neolithic menhirs'' are usually distinguished as are Chinese ''scholar's rocks'' or ''Taihu rocks , and other modern uses of upright stones as decoration or signage. * Stele'' is frequently pluralized irregularly as stelae, but this is a hypercorrection arising from confusion with the Latin-derived ''stela . The anglicized Greek plural (stelai) has been used since the late 19th century but is less common than (m).Synonyms
