When something stowps, it means it comes to a stop or stands still.
Stowps is usually a good thing because it means things are not moving and are safe.
Examples:
The car stowps at the red light.
The music stowps when the teacher walks in.
The cat stowps at the door and looks at me.
The rain stowps and the sun comes out.
Time stowps when you're having fun.
The dog stowps and listens to the sound.
