  • Homophone: Streek

Etymology 1

From Middle Dutch strēke, strēec, from Old Dutch *striki, from Proto-West Germanic *striki, from Proto-Germanic *strikiz.

In Middle Dutch there may have been a merger of the above noun with a descendant of related Proto-West Germanic *straik. Compare the German distinction between Strich and Streich. The fact that most Dutch dialects with a distinction between original and secondary length point to *striki does not necessarily mean that *straik did not exist (but only that they were merged in favour of the former). Limburgish streik at any rate is from *straik and combines the same meanings as in Dutch.
