This, like the   ruit, is usually considered to be borrowed from  rûta (  ruta); yet  rûde, ‘rue,’ might prove that the  word is cognate with  rûta.  rue, from  rue.

The primary idea of all these terms, and of the Aryan root rebh, deduced from them, is ‘winding, entwining.’ —   ,, ‘partridge,’ from the  rëphuon,  rëba-huon, rëbhuon, ; it is not probable that  signifies ‘the fowl that is fond of frequenting vines .’ Perhaps reba- has here another sense. To assume also, on account of raphon,  rapphöna, ‘partridge’ ( rjúpa, ‘ptarmigan’), that the word is derived from  rapp, ‘quick,’ is inadmissible, since the  term occurs at a very early period.

The West *rëkanôn is connected, probably in the sense of ‘to compute, collect’ ( the meanings of ), with the root rak, ‘to collect’ (see ), to which  ręččan (from rakjan), ‘to count up, compute, arrange,’ and  racu,  raka,  rahha,, ‘speech, account, affair,’ also belong; so too. ,, ‘right, just,’ from and  rëht, , ‘straight, right, just, correct’; common  rehta-, with  meaning in all the ,  raihts,  réttr,  riht,  right,  regt,  reht. rectus, Zend. rā̆́šta, ‘straight, right, correct,’ are also allied.
