Str (perhaps contemporaneously with, , , &c.) from strâta (scil. via,  ‘paved road’) before the  t was softened to d in ;   strada,  estrada,   étrée, to which OIr, sráth, ‘street,’ is allied.   ,, ‘to ruffle or bristle up, resist,’ from *striuben (for which striubeln occurs), strûben,  , also  strûben,  strûbên, ‘to stand motionless, look fixedly, rise aloft, bristle up, resist.’   strûp (b), ‘bristling up,’ strobeleht, strûbeleht, ‘bristly.’ To this  is allied. In the non- languages indubitable cognates of the genuine root strū̆b, ‘to be coarse,’ are wanting; yet   στρυφνὸς, ‘bitter, firm, stout’?.   ,, ‘shrub, bush,’ from the  strûch,  (to which the  collective  is allied); wanting in. Corresponding to struik, ‘shrub’ (also  stronk, ‘shrub,’  to , with a nasalised root syllable). The stem is not found in other languages; the relation of the cognates of  is dubious.  ,, ‘to stumble,’ from the  strûcheln, an intensive form of  strûhhên, strûhhôn, ‘to stumble’; it corresponds to the   struikelen. To this is allied the root  strjúka, ‘to stroke, rub’; but   is scarcely connected with this  root strū̆k, ‘to glide’ (at all events  is not ‘to entangle oneself in bushes’). It is uncertain whether στρεύγεσθαι, ‘to grow tired,’ is a cognate.   (1.),, ‘quarrel. conflict, fight,’ from the  strûȥ, ; to this  striuȥen, ‘to resist,’  strûtian, ‘to quarrel,’ is allied.

 (2.),, ‘crest, tuft, nosegay,’ from the late  *strûȥ, , which may be inferred from gestriuȥe and striuȥach, ‘cluster of bushes.’

 (3.),, ‘ostrich,’ from the  and  strûȥ, ; it seems to be rather a corruption of late  strûthio, ‘ostrich,’ on which  strŷta is based (  struzzo,  autruche, whence  ostrich), than a permutation of pre- *strûto-. The word may have been borrowed contemporaneously with. On the other hand, a direct connection with στρουθίον, or rather ἡ μεγάλη στροῦθος, ‘ostrich’ (στροῦθος, ‘sparrow’), is impos - sible. Moreover, it is remarkable that the Germans say, in the came way as the autruche ( av-estruz) from avistrutio, is liked with  avis.  ,, ‘to strive, struggle, endeavour,’ from strëben,  , ‘to move violently, exert oneself, contend.’ The  strong verb corresponding to the non-recorded   *strëbên would be *strîban (*strîfan?), as is assumed by the  loan-words. estriver, ‘to fight, wrestle,’ estrif, ‘contest,’ whence to strive, strife, are borrowed. ,, ‘to stretch, extend,’ from stręcken,  stręcchen,  , ‘to straighten, make tense, extend, stretch’; corresponds to  strekken,  stręččęan,  to stretch. The corresponding  ( also  stracchên, ‘to be extended’), points to a  root strak (for srak, a variant of rak in ?), which is perhaps connected with the root of  and. It is doubtful whether the cognates are borrowed from  straccare, ‘to exhaust, fatigue.’ ,, ‘to rub,’ from strîchen,  , ‘to smooth, make strokes, draw, rub, besmear,’  strîhhan,  , ‘to rub.’ To this is allied the    , from  streichen ( streihhôn),  , ‘to graze, touch, stroke,’ as well as  , , from  streich, , ‘blow, cut, stroke,’ and  , , from  and  strich, , ‘stroke, line’ (  striks). The correspondences in the other dialects are  strijken,  strîcan,  to strike (whence stroke). With the pre- root strī̆g are connected stringere, ‘to strip off, unsheath, touch, graze slightly,’  striga, ‘stroke,’  strigą (strišti), ‘to shear, cut off.’  ,, ‘stripe, streak,’ from late streif, , ‘expedition,’ allied to  streifen (streipfen),  , ‘to glide, march, roam’;   strippen, ‘to strip off leaves’ (streep, ‘stripe, streak, stroke’). Further cognates are wanting.  ,, ‘to graze slightly, strip off,’ from ströufen (stroufen),  , besides which a rare form, striefen, ‘to skin, flay, chastise,’ occurs. *stroufen and *straupjan are also indicated by  stroopen, ‘to strip, strip off leaves, make predatory excursions,’  bestrŷpan,  to strip. is also more remotely allied.
