Rei raiko- can scarcely be related to ṛçya, ‘buck of a species of antelopes.’ See further.  ,, ‘to rub, scratch, scour,’ from the  rîben,  rîban, for an older *wrîban, whence  riper, ‘to scrape’;   wrîven,  wrijven, ‘to rub.’ The  root wrī̆b has not yet been found in the other Aryan languages.  ,, ‘empire, realm, kingdom,’ from rîche, ,  rîhhi, , ‘country under sovereign sway, kingdom, Roman-German emperor, authority, dominion’; corresponding to  reiki, , ‘realm, dominion, power, authority,’  rîče, , ‘realm, dominion, reign,’  rîki, , ‘realm, dominion, authority.’ A derivative with the suffix ja from  *rîk-, which has been preserved only in  as reiks, ‘ruler, chief’ (yet also in proper names like  and ). The rare   rîhhan, ‘to reign over, take possession of, be mighty,’ is  a derivative of *rîk-, ‘ruler,’ which again is a pre- loan-word from the   rîg (for another word, probably borrowed from  at the same period, see under ). The latter is allied to  rêg-em,  râjan, ‘king’ (Aryan rég- would be  akin to  rêk, râk), which are connected with the Aryan root rē̆́g, ‘to direct’ (see ). See the following word.  ,, ‘rich, copious, abounding,’ from rîhhi,  rîhhi, , ‘mighty, rich, splendid’; corresponding to  rîki, ‘mighty, powerful,’  rîce, ‘mighty, powerful,’  rich,  reiks, ‘mighty, distinguished.’ From the   the   cognates are derived;   ricco,  riche, ‘rich.’ The comon   is a derivative of the root *rîk, ‘king,’ discussed under the preceding word, hence ‘mighty’ is the earlier meaning of the cognates; ‘royal’ ( régius) is the  sense. ,, ‘to reach, extend, suffice,’ from ‘to arrive at, attain, proffer. suffice, extend,’ reihhen, ‘to proffer, extend’; corresponding to  rœ̂čan (from *raikjan), and the   to reach. Its connection with rakjan, ‘to reach,’ rahtôn, ‘to proffer,’ is not probable, for phonetic reasons; and on account of its meaning, the word can scarcely be related to the cognates of *rîk, ‘ruler,’ mentioned under.   (1.),, ‘encircling band, hoop, ring,’ from and  reif, , ‘rope, cord, coiled rope, hoop, band, fetter, circle’; corresponding to  reep, ‘hoop, rope,’  râp, , ‘strap, cord, rope,’  rope,  reip, , ‘rope,’  skaudaraip, ‘shoe-thong,’  ῥαιβός, ‘crooked,’ is probably not allied, and is best compared with  wraiqs, ‘crooked.’

 (2.),, ‘rime, hoar-frost,’ from the  rîfe,  rîfo, hrîfo, ; corresponding to  hrípo,  rijp, ‘rime, hoar-frost’ ( *hreipa). The other have a similarly sounding form, which is not, however, closely allied phonetically;  hrím,  hrîm,,  rime,  rijm, with the same meaning;   rîmeln, ‘to cover with hoar-frost.’ Does hrîm represent  *hrîpma-, and thus belong to ? The comparison of hrîm with  κρῦμός, ‘frost,’ is untenable.  ,, ‘ripe, mature,’ from the  rîfe,  rîfi, ; corresponding to the   rîpi,  rijp,  rîpe,  ripe; a verbal  allied to  rī̆pan, ‘to reap’ (whence  to reap), signifying ‘that which can be reaped.’ The  root rîp, with the  sense ‘to cut, reap’ (  rîfter, ‘sickle’), has not yet been found in the other Aryan languages.  , see (1).   ,, from the  rîke, , ‘row, line,’ allied to  rîhen,  rîhan, ‘to range, put on a thread, fix,’ to which  rige, , ‘row, line,’  rī̆ga, ‘line, circular line,’ and  rij, ‘row,’ are akin. râw, ‘row, line’ ( *raiwa, for *raigwa, allied to *reihwan), whence row is also probably connected with these. The root rī̆hw, raihw, is related to  rêkkâ, ‘streak, line’ (Aryan root rikh).   ' (1.), ',, ‘chain-dance, roundel, dance and song, frolic,’ from reie, reige, , ‘a sort of dance in a long row across the field’; origin obscure. also ray, ‘a sort of dance,’ the etymology of which is equally obscure.    (2.),, ‘instep,’ from the  rîhe, ;  rîho, , ‘calf of the leg, hock.’ An older *wrîho may be assumed, since   seems to be allied.  ,, see.  ,, ‘heron,’ from the <section end="Reiher" />
