Prop. *`drawn together, balled together, copast', to στράγξ a. cogn. (s. v.). Then στρογγύλος can be either an old full grade ο-ablaut as NHG Strang a.o. or have taken its -ο- secondarily from γογγύλος (Güntert Reimwortbild. 146 f.). Against the last supposition speaks however the wide spread of στρογγύλος. Diff. J. Schmidt KZ 32, 381: α \> ο because of the following υ (which is a rule of Pre-Greek!). -- A connection with στράγξ `squeezed out drop' is semant. far from evident to my mind (though στρογγ- may well continue *stragg- before υ).Page in Frisk: 2,810-811
