Rot ‘false, cunning,’ frequently occurs in.   ,, from the  rotte, rote, , ‘troop, detachment’; borrowed in the  period from  rote, ‘division of an army, troop,’ whence also  rout ( route),  rot. The term is derived from  rutta, rupta;.   (1.),, ‘to root out,’ formed from the earlier roten, a variant of  riuten, ‘to root out’;   rieden, Swiss ussrū̆de, ‘to root out.’

 (2.),, ‘to cause to rot or decay, only, from the   and  rotten; see  (2).  ,, ‘mucus, snot,’ from the  roz, rotz,  roz, earlier hroz,  and , formed from a  root hrū̆t (Aryan krud);   rûȥan,  hrûtan, ‘to snore, snort,’  hrjóta. It can scarcely be compared with κόρυζα, ‘cold, catarrh.’   , , ‘rape, turnip,’ from the  rüebe, ruobe,  ruoba, ruoppa,. The word cannot have been borrowed from  râpa, ‘rape,’ although names of vegetables (, , and ) have passed directly from  into ; for if the word were borrowed thus, the sounds of  râpa must have been preserved, or rather the p must have been changed into ff. The assumption that the  form rôbî appearing in  was borrowed is opposed by the  graded form râba,  râbe, ‘rape’ (Swiss rǟbi). The pre- word is therefore related to râpum, râpa, with which  ῥάπυς, ῥάφυς, ‘turnip,’ ῥάφανος, ῥαφάνη,  rěpa,  rópė, ‘turnip,’ are also connected. These cognates are wanting in East Aryan, hence the supposition that they were borrowed, as in the case of, is not to be discarded.—   , ‘Numbernips, a fabulous spirit of the Riesengebirge,’ is a contraction of Ruobezagel, ‘turnip-tail’ ( zagel is  to  tail,  tœgel).   ,, ‘rubric,’ from late rubrike, , ‘red ink’, from  rubrique. whence also rubric; for  rubrica see.  ,, ‘infamous, flagitious,’from ruoche-lôs, ‘unconcerned, reckless,’ allied to  ruoche, , ‘care, carefulness’;   reckless; see  and. ', ',, ‘notorious, only, from , as is indicated by the  and  cht for the  ft; allied to  ruoft, ‘fame, reputation’; see , , and.  ,, ‘jerk, tug,’ from ruc ( ruckes),  ruc ( rucches), , ‘sudden motion, jerk.’—   ,, ‘to jerk,’ from rücken,  rucchen, ‘to push along’;  *rukki, , ‘jolt,’ and *rukkjan, ‘to jerk,’ are wanting;   rykkja, ‘to jerk,’ and rykkr, , ‘jolt,’  roccian, ‘to jerk,’  to rock. <section end="rücken" /> ,, ‘to coo’ (of pigeons), allied to ruckezen, ‘to coo,’ and rucku, , ‘coo!’ (of pigeons);  forms. <section begin="Rücken" /> , im., ‘back, rear, ridge,’ from the  rücke,  rucki, earlier hrukki,  ( *hrugja- is to be assumed);  the   hruggi,  rug,  hrycg,  ridge,  hryggr. ῥάχις, ‘back,’ is not allied, because krakjó- is the form for. It is more probably related to crocen, ‘skin, back,’ and the  root kruñc, ‘to bend,’ so  may have been named from its flexibility.

Their origin is not certain, as it cannot be determined whether the initial h of the  word is permanent; we have probably to assume  *ruÞja,. Akin to roðhund?. <section end="Rüde" /> <section begin="Rudel" /> ,, ‘flock, herd, troop,’ only, of uncertain etymology, perhaps a  of , ‘host’ (  rode with rotte). riðull, ‘small detachment of soldiers,’ can scarcely prove the genuine origin of, since it probably belongs to riða, ‘to ride.’ The Kinship of  with  wriþus, ‘herd,’ is also uncertain. <section end="Rudel" /> <section begin="Ruder" /> , n,‘oar, rudder,’ from the  ruoder,  ruodar, ; corresponding to the   roer,  rôþer,  rudder ( *rôþr,, ‘oar,’ is by chance not recorded); in  with a different suffix rœðe, , ‘oar,’ while róðr, , signifies ‘rowing.’  *rô-þra-, ‘oar,’ belongs to  rôwan,  ,  to row,  róa,  roeijen,  rüejen, ruon, all of which signify ‘to row.’ The <section end="Ruder" />
