An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Strieme

by Friedrich Kluge

Strieme, m. and f., ‘stripe, streak, scar,’ from MidHG. strieme (streime, strîme), m., ‘stripe’; OHG. strī̆mo (to which strimil, MidHG. strîmel, is allied), ‘stripe,’ is an isolated relic of a Teut.-Aryan root strī̆, which is not found elsewhere.
