とめといて is this contracted?

[NeonLotus]

Hi, I have another sentence here from an old game that I’m having issues with.

土爪で足をとめといて

That sentence is displayed as an indication of what the 土爪 will do once it is selected, essentially calling it out to do something. I know the verb is 止める but I can’t work out what conjugation that is, is it another contraction?

Thanks

Quick Contraction Reference

I thought I would write a quick reference to help people understand some contractions which I have found to be incredibly common in popular media and casual speech, but which most textbooks tend to gloss over or ignore. My hope is that I can save some of you from spending as much time as I did being puzzled over some of these. This isn’t a guide on when or how to use these forms (although as a general rule most of them are casual speech, some of them are only seen in fiction), it’s just a refer…

Thanks, that’s gonna come in handy.
