"strьmь" meaning in Proto-Slavic

See strьmь in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

Forms: *strьmъ [alternative], *strьmьnъ [alternative]
Etymology: Not entirely clear, but the presiding opinion tends towards an archaic i-stem from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ter- (“rigid, erect”) or *(s)terh₁- (“to stiffen”) + *-ьmь (compare o-stems *-ьmъ, *-ьmo), related to Ancient Greek στερεός (stereós), στέριφος (stériphos, “solid, rigid”), στερέμνιος (sterémnios, “sturdy”), German stramm (“tight”). Sobolevsky, Mladenov have alternatively proposed possible derivation from Proto-Indo-European *srey- (“to flow, stream”) akin to Proto-Slavic *struja, *strumy (“stream”). Machek further suggests possible kinship to Lithuanian tri̇̀mti (“to shiver”) (also meaning “to sink, to subside”), trem̃ti (“to exile”) < Proto-Indo-European *trem-.
