strai

Etymology
, but probably from a language; cf. 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬. When entering Romanian, it may have been taken as a diminutive (cf. the form ), and then later evolved to its current form. Compare 🇨🇬, which may or may not be a different word (cf. however, 🇨🇬, which may have influenced it). Alternative proposed etymologies include Vulgar Latin root *sternium or Latin. See also 🇨🇬, which may have a Slovene root as well, although it has also been attributed to Latin.
