Schrei, masculine, ‘cry, scream,’ from Middle High German schrî, schrei, Old High German screi, masculine. ‘cry, call, shout,’ allied to schreien, Middle High German schrîen, Old High German scrîan, strong verb, ‘to cry out.’ The strong verbal root skrī̆, which is without doubt genuinely Teutonic, is wanting in the other Old Teutonic dialects.
