First an auto-correction: there is no noun "steg" in Danish ("trin"
is "a step upwards", "skridt" a "step horizontally"). There is the
preterite of "stige", "steg", which I suspect is homophonical
to "steak".

-- I just realized that by "auto-correction" you (most likely) meant that you were indeed correcting yourself.  I didn't pick up on the "auto-", since my computer has "auto-correct" features which correct any faults, so I thought you were correcting any errors rather than specifically your own.  By the way, just out of curiosity, what is the etymology of "trin", if you know?
