Rah  ,, ‘cream, crust of mould or mildew,’ from the  roum, ;   room,  reám (earlier  ream),  rjóme, ‘cream.’ The â of the  form compared with  *roum ( roum) is dialectal (  strâm and stroum under ). The origin of these cognates has not yet been discovered.   ,, ‘frame, border,’ from ram, rame,  and , ‘prop. framework, frame for embroidery or weaving,’ rama, ‘pillar, prop’;   roum, ‘frame.’ Allied probably to  hramjan, ‘to crucify,’  ‘to fasten to a pillar or prop’(?) which may, however, be cognate with  κρεμάννυμι. , ‘setting,’ is usually connected with  kroma,, ‘border.’   ,, only, from the   ray-grass, or rather from its phonetic variant rye-grass.   ,, ‘strip or belt of grass as a dividing line between fields, ridge,’ from and  rein, , ‘ridge’ (as a line of division between fields); corresponding to  reen, ‘field boundary,’  rein, , ‘strip of land.’ Perhaps cognate with  rêkhâ, , ‘row, line, strip.’   ,, ‘corncrake,’ only, from  râle, whence also  rail.   ,, from the   ramme, , ‘rammer, pile-driver,’  identical with  ram ( rammes), , ‘ram,’  ram, rammo, , ‘ram’ ; corresponding to  ram, ‘ram, battering-ram,’  ramm,  ram. No connection with ἀρήν is possible; it is more probably allied to  ramr, rammr, ‘strong, sharp, powerful.’ See the following word.  ,, ‘to buck, rut, ram, force in,’ from rammeln,  rammalôn, ‘to rut’; akin to , ‘buck rabbit,’ from  rammeler, ‘ram during the rutting season.’ A derivative of the cognates discussed under.  ,, ‘sloping terrace,’ only from, rampe.   ,, ‘rim, border, brink,’ from rant ( randes), ,  rant ( rantes), , ‘boss of a shield,’ then ‘rim of a shield,’ and finally ‘rim’ (generally); so too  rand, ‘edge, rim,’  rǫnd, , ‘rim of a shield, shield, rim,’  rand,  rǫnd (for randô-), ‘shield, rim of a shield.’  *randa, ‘rim,’ is also  implied by  randa, ‘lace on clothes.’ Pre- *ram-tâ points to a root rem ( rĭma, reoma, ‘rim’), the m of which before d would be necessarily changed to n (see , , , and ). From the same form is derived the modern  term  for ;   ramft (with an excrescent f as in ? yet  the   rąbŭ and  rùmbas),, ‘rim, rind, border,’  ranft, , ‘frame, rim, rind.’  also belongs probably to the same stem. <section end="Rand" /> <section begin="Rang" /> ,, ‘rank, order, row,’ only, from  rang (whence also  rang,  rank), which again is derived from  ,  ring, hring. <section end="Rang" /> <section begin="Range" /> ,, ‘dissolute youth,’ first occurs in early.

See. — <section end="Rank" /> <section begin="Ranke" /> ,, ‘tendril, creeper,’ only, from  ranken, ‘to move to and fro, extend, stretch.’ See. — <section end="Ranke" /> <section begin="Rankkorn" /> ,, from the  rankorn, rankhorn, , ‘quinsy (in pigs)’; allied to  wrong, which is used of the diseases of cows. Whether it belongs, by inference from the word, to the pre- root wrank (see ), is uncertain. <section end="Rankkorn" /> <section begin="Ranzen" /> ,, ‘belly, knapsack, satchel,’ from rans,  ‘belly, pauch.’   ranzel, ‘knapsack.’ <section end="Ranzen" /> ,, ‘to speak rudely or harshly to,’ only, probably for *, allied to  ranken, ‘to bray.’ Scarcely cognate with  to rant. ,, ‘rancid, fetid,’ only, from the   rance ( rancidus), like, or through the medium of,  rans, ‘rotten, rancid.’ <section begin="Rapp" /> ,, ‘grape-stalk,’ from the rappe, rape, , borrowed from the   râpe (  raspo), whence also the   rape. <section end="Rapp" /> <section begin="Rappe" />  (1.),, ‘black horse,’ only in this sense, which is a figurative use of  rappe, ‘raven,’ the variant of  rabe ( rap, ‘raven’). *rappo is wanting; it would be related to rabo like *knappo, ‘squire,’ to knabo, ‘boy.’ See. <section end="Rappe" /> <section begin="Rappe" />  (2.),, ‘malanders,’ from rappe, rapfe, , ‘itch, scab’; allied to  rappig, ‘scabby.’ The root is seen in <section end="Rappe" />
