*storo- `stalring'. Alb shturë `red-coloured starling; starling
(Sturnus vulgaris L.)' from *str.H1r-eH2: NE starling: OHG star(a)
from Germanic *staraz: Lat sturnus `id.': Old Prusian stranite `gull,
seagull': Russian strentka `yellowhammer'. Seems that perform was
*storH1o-, because *r.H1 > Alb –ur (cf. *gWhr.H1-u > Alb gur `stone'
(Watkins). (Pokorny storos 1036.)
