Frisk Etymological English
Grammatical information: m.
Meaning: ὁ ψαρὸς (starling) ὑπὸ Θετταλῶν H.
Origin: LW [a loanword which is (probably) not of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]
Etymology: Resembles closely Lat. sturnus, OHG. stara f. etc. But the reconstruction *ἀστρν̥λός is improbable. A much simpler solution is to assume independent suffixes -no- and -lo-. The word will be non-IE. Winter Prothet. Vokal 19, Thompson Birds s. v.
Frisk Etymology German
ἀστραλός: {astralós}
Meaning: ὁ ψαρὸς (= Star) ὑπὸ Θετταλῶν H.
Etymology: Erinnert auffallend an das lat.-germ. Wort für Star, lat. sturnus, ahd. stara f. usw. (Curtius, Fick). Anknüpfung an den in sturnus verbauten n-Stamm (über *ἀστρν̥λός, s. Schwyzer 483: 4) ist dann nicht ausgeschlossen. Nach Wood u. a. (s. WP. 2, 649) zu ἀστήρ. Vgl. W.-Hofmann s. sturnus, außerdem Winter Prothet. Vokal 19, Thompson Birds s. v.
