Here also [[Τροῦθος]] PN (Bechtel [[Ἀντίδωρον]] 151 f. )?<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin] (V)<br />Etymology: Without certain connection. A certain similarity show the among each other changing names of the throstle: Lith. strãzdas, Russ. [[drozd]], Germ., e.g. MHG drostel, OWNo. <b class="b2">Þrǫstr</b>, OHG [[drosca]], Lat. [[turdus]], Celt. e.g. NIr. [[truid]] [[starling]] etc. Also when we posit PGr. <b class="b3">*στρουσθος</b> (cf. ὄρνῖ-θ-?) we cannot accomodate [[στρουθός]]; [[τρύζω]] too lies rather far. -- Extensive discussion w. lit. in WP. 1, 761 f. (Pok. 1096), further also W.-Hofmann, Fraenkel and Vasmer s. vv.; new morphological analysis by Specht Ursprung 49. -- Furnée 182 posits <b class="b3">*τρουθος</b> after the PN and from ὁειὸν τρούθ<ιον> for ᾠὸν στρούθ(ε)ιον, and <b class="b3">*δρουθ-ος</b> after the PN Δρουθου (gen. Telos). The variations point to a Pre-Greek word. (Note the nom. <b class="b3">*στρουθ-ς</b> > [[στροῦς]].)
