Yiddish
Etymology
If not influenced German Strom, the Yiddish must go back to Middle High German strām, a byform of stroum (“stream”) influenced by unrelated strām (“streak”), from Proto-Germanic *straumaz and *strēmaz respectively. The former is cognate with Dutch stroom, English stream, the latter with dated Dutch straam (“wale”). Middle High German stroum or strōm would have yielded Yiddish *שטרױם (*shtroym).
Noun
שטראָם • (shtrom) m, plural שטראָמען (shtromen)
- stream (small river)
- stream (steady flow, e.g. of people)
