[edit] Etymology and relationship with "a striga"

Actually, the root word was Latin "striga" (aka "strix"), from which was derived the word "strigă" in Romanian, meaning "female witch" or "Barn Owl". From this were derived both "a striga" (to yell) and "strigoi" ("strigă" + masculine suffix "-oi"). bogdan | ^Talk 20:03, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
