Stand [Verb intransitive] Webster's Dictionary 1828

1. preterit tense and participle passive stood. [This verb, if from the root of G., is a derivative from the noun, which is formed from the participle of the original verb. In this case, the noun should properly precede the verb. It may be here remarked that if stan is the radical word, stand and Latin Sto cannot be from the same stock. But stand in the preterit tense is stood, and sto forms steti. This induces a suspicion that stan is not the root of stand but that n is casual. I am inclined however to believe these words to be from different roots. The Russ. Stoyu, to stand is the Latin sto, but it signifies also to be, to exist, being the substantive verb.]
