Er.... no, stereotyping a stereotype would be to apply one stereotype to
an element that is also a stereotype. Specializing a stereotype would be
to define a new stereotype in terms of an existing one by creating a
generalization relationship between them.

Once you have created both stereotypes, you use the same option you
would use for defining a generalization between two classes (New Child >
Generalization > Generalization).

If all you want to do is to add more properties, you should specialize
(a.k.a. subclass) the stereotype and use the specialized stereotype instead.
Stereotyping a stereotype would not be of much help because it affects
the target stereotype only, not the elements it is applied to. Unless
that is exactly what you want. In that case, you would have to apply the
profile defining the stereotype-that-applies-to-a-stereotype to the
profile defining the original stereotype beforehand.

see the specialized stereotype option, how can I find it in the menu?
