+ It is [[af|la|circum-|strepō|t1=around|t2=to make a noise]].^(TLL)^(Bianchi & Lelli 2014) De Vaan reconstructs the simple verb as [[itc-pro|*strepe/o-]] and compares only Germanic words such as [[non|þrefa|t=to quarrel]], so it is uncertain that it goes back to Proto-Indo-European.^(de Vaan 2008)
