The subSTRATe of this overview is STRATus, implying TISSUE or otherwise a MEMBRANE or EPITHELIum. Indicated above are some of the implicit notions amplified by the Spanish term, "eSTRAgo", denoting a disaster implicit in tissue disintegration. Though it is not to be explored here, it would be appropriate to focus on the idea of "trago", as we integrate what we eat.
Clouds are stratified gases. Above, the stratosphere is shown.
STRATus, STRATa, and STREets convey idea of layers, and thus compacted matter. Note: STRA and STER (meaning "layer", "gathered", or "hard" as in STERn or STERnum) tend to mingle.
The stern of a ship captured from a Stern King.

In another perspective, STRATum points to what can be spread in layers or LAMINa. To avoid deviation, or becoming aSTRay, one is guided by an avenue or STRada.
When the wooden strata ships` sterns failed, some voyages ended "on the rocks".
In medical parlance, STRATa refers to all sorts of cellular and acellular sheets of compacted matter. Of interest is the ADAMANTINUM, or dental enamel, which is quite hard and ADAMANTINE or DIAMOND-like. In Greek mythology, it was Zeus who decreed that an ADAMANTINE foundation should anchor a floating island as a LITer for his beloved LETo so that she could deliver the twins Diana and Apollo. This stratum of "once divine" matter is now "terra firme" and is known today as the island of Delos.
More vistas open more perspectives - STRA, STER, and in Celtic STRAh point to STRAtos or layers of soldiers commanded by a STRAtegos or a general skilled in STRAtegies and STRAtagems of war. From a biological perspective, STARI and STEReos (in Sanskrit, Greek, and Ukrainian) point to ageing and stiffness; this idea is amplified in Ukrainian by STRAkh and in Spanish by ESTRago, which link ruin with fear.
A mild degree of Pectus Excavatum or sunken STERnum.
Finally, STER, as in STERnum, describes a hard and wide chest plate of cartilage that may ossify with age: the PEKTOS (or shield like PECTORAL bone). In medical parlance, pectus excavatum and carinatum denote severe anomalistic variations of the sternum. Pectus excavatum refers to a sternum that is sunken or excavated-like and carinatum refers to a sternum that is prominent or "carina" like. Note: these and other vistas are explored further in other companion postings.
