Proto-Germanic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]According to Kroonen, a back-formation from the iterative *strupōną (“to writhe”), with both traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *strewb-; he prefers to derive them from a root *strebʰ- (“to twist”), adducing Ancient Greek στρέφω (stréphō, “to twist”) as a cognate.[1] This has been disputed, however.[2]
Older theories derived the term from Proto-Indo-European *strew-, *sterw-, *ster- (“strip; beam; streak; ray”). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?) (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “proposed cognates in this case?”)
