στράγξ
Ancient Greek
Etymology
The formation is similar to στρίγξ (strínx) and λύγξ (lúnx). Cognates are often assumed in Latin stringō (“to tie together”), Latvian stringt (“to become stiff”) and Proto-Germanic *strangiz (“string”). However, according to Beekes, it is not improbable that the word is Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: Parameter 2 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "pregrc" is not valid.
