- ὄστριμον
- ὄστριμονGrammatical information: n.Meaning: `stable, fold' (Antim., H.), Ὄστριμα pl. as name of a mountain (Lyc.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: Unexplained. Quite improbable supposition by Bezzenberger BB 27, 174: from IE *odh-tro- beside *edh-ro- in Germ., e.g. OS edor `fence', *odh-ro- in Slav., e.g. OCS odrъ `bed' (diff. Vasmer s. odr); not better Petersson IF 24, 265 (to IE *u̯es- `envelop'). -- Rather as *'protecting roof' (`Schirmdach') to ὄστρακον, ὄστρεον like Lat. lestūdō `tortoise' (`Schildkröte'), also `protecting roof'. The argumentation is unclear to me. - So there is no IE etymology. The word may\/will be Pre-Greek, but I see no further indication.Page in Frisk: 2,438
