Asslamulaikum,

More explaination of still,
3)To a greater degree or extent; used with comparisons;
ex:"an still more interesting problem"; "still another problem must be solved".

4)Without moving or making a sound;
"he sat still as a statue"; "time stood still"; "they waited stock-still outside the door"; "he couldn't hold still any longer".
Keep in mind that "Still" can work as an Adjective, Adverb, Noun and as a verb.

B) However: However itself works as an adverb only.

1)Despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession).
Ex: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it".

2)By contrast; on the other hand.
Ex:"the first part was easy; the second, however, took hour".

3)To whatever degree or extent.
Ex:"The results, however general, are important"; "they have begun, however reluctantly, to acknowledge the legitimacy of some of the opposition's concerns".

4)In whatever way or manner.
Ex:"Victory, however it was brought about, was sweet"; "however he did it, it was very clever".

5)In what way or manner or by what means.
Ex:"however did you get here so soon?"

To be continued.............
Regards.
