In my little on-computer dictionary “stare” has 13 senses which seems to cover
a large semantic room. I will leave it to the speakers of the languages to
decide on the issue...
Sure, I just meant the analogy of "estar" with the sense of temporarily
being somewhere or being in some temporary state, in contrast to the
sense of being something. I find it interesting, that such a
differentiation of "being" exists in these languages using a completely
different verb, besides other senses of course.....
