See striga in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ˈstriː.ɡa] [Classical-Latin], [ˈstrɪ.ɡa] [Classical-Latin], [ˈstriː.ɡa] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Borrowed from Ancient Greek στρίγα (stríga), the accusative of στρίξ (stríx, “owl”), which also gave strī̆x (“screech owl; witch”), probably of onomatopoeic origin and related to Latin strīdō (“to make a shrill sound”). Compare typologically Russian карга́ (kargá), also considered borrowed, akin to Turkish karga.
