Epin., Arist. a.o.).Derivatives: στερε-ότης (- ρρ-) f. `hardness, firmness', also `infertility' (Pl., Arist. etc.); στερε-όομαι (- ρρ-), - όω, also w. ἀπο-, κατα-, `to become, make firm, hard etc., to harden' (Hp., X., Arist. a.o.) with στερέ-ωμα n. `firmness, solid component, firmament' (Hp., Arist. etc.), - ωσις f. `to harden' (LXX, Str. a.o.), - ωματίζω, - ωτικός, - ωτής.

Forbes Glotta 36, 269 f.), would agree with ἐτε(Ϝ)ός, κενε(Ϝ)ός a.o. In στεριφος `unfertile' Leummann Glotta 42, 118 wants to see a derivation from the phonetic antecedent of στεῖρα after the animal names in - φος ( ἔριφος, ἔλαφος a.o.) with change from `unfertile' to `hard'. For στερέμνιος a μ(ε)ν-derivation must be supposed (*στέρεμνον, *στέρεμα); cf. βέλε-μν-α, ἔρυ-μα (Schwyzer 489), also the synonymous ἀ-τέρα-μνος (s. v.). -- The above formations are based on an unattested word IE * ster-, to which with o-derivation the Germ. word for `starr', a.o. in OHG stara-blint `blind' with OHG starēn `stare', with expressive gemination NHG starr with MHG starren, NHG ( er)starren. Toch. B ścire `hard, stiff' is unclear (* stero- or *stĩro-), s. Duchesne-Guillemin BSL 41, 167f., Pedersen Zur toch. Sprachgesch. 19 w. lit. -- Here also 2. στεῖρα `stem' and, with very ancient special meaning, 1. στεῖρα `unfertile' (s. vv.). -- To the same family belong numerous further words with varying formation and different enlargements, s. στέρφος, στρηνής, στόρθυγξ, στηρίζω, στριφνός and WP. 2, 627ff., Pok. 1022ff. -- The group of words is unclear and needs further research.Page in Frisk: 2,790-791Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > στερεός
