Stops tips (4)
I believe the answer is:
ends
I believe this is a double definition.
'stops' is the first definition.
('end' can be a synonym of 'stop')
'tips' is the second definition.
(Other definitions for ends that I've seen before include "ambitions" , "Terminates in dens" , "Destroys" , "Justifications for means, sometimes?" , "deaths" .)
