Rum  ,, ‘to turn up (the nose),’ from rümphen, ‘to turn up (the nose), wrinkle’;  *rumpfen is wanting, rimpfan ( rimphen), ‘to contract, wrinkle,’ being used;   rimpelen, ‘to wrinkle,’ and rompelig, ‘rugged.’ The cognates have scarcely lost an initial h in spite of the existence of  hrympele, ‘wrinkle,’ and gehrumpen, ‘wrinkled,’ since gerumpen, ‘bent,’ is also recorded in  without an initial h. The root rimp ( further  rimple, rumple, and  rimpel, ‘wrinkle’) has been connected with  ῥάμφος, ‘curved beak,  of birds of prey,’ as well as ῥέμβομαι, ‘to roam,’ ῥαμφή, ‘curved dagger.’  ,, ‘round,’ from the  runt ( rundes), ; borrowed from  rond (from  rotundus), whence also  round,  rond,  and  rund.  ,, see.   ,, ‘rung; bolt, pin; trigger,’ from and  runge, , ‘drag-shoe’;  *runga, older *hrunga, , are by chance not recorded;   hrugga, , ‘staff,’  hrung,  rung. The sense is probably ‘spar,’ therefore the connection with   is doubtful.   ,, ‘beetroot,’ only, of obscure origin.   ,, ‘flowing, running,’ in , ‘bleeding, bloody,’ from bluot-runsec, -runs, , ‘bloody, wounded,’ allied to  and  bluot-runs, ‘hæmorrhage, bleeding wound.’ Runs is an abstract from ;   runs ( runsis), ‘course,’ runs blôþis, ‘issue of blood.’ Hence also   , ‘course of a torrent.’   ,, ‘wrinkle, fold, rumple,’ from the  runzel,  runzila, ;  of  runza,  runze, , ‘wrinkle.’ By inference from  krukka,  runke, and  wrinkle ( wrincle), the  from runza represents *wrunkza, *wrunkizza, with a  suffix; the loss of the guttural is normal as in  from *blikz,  from *lęnkz. In the non- languages  rûga,  rùkti, ‘to become wrinkled,’ raúkas, ‘wrinkle’ (see further ).   ,, ‘coarse fellow, lubber,’ a  abbreviation of  (hence  and  as surnames); for a similar use of proper names. Pro - bably the meaning of was occasioned by, ‘Knight Robert’ (bugbear in nursery tales), in whose character maskers disported themselves in a rude and coarse manner.  ,, ‘to pluck (feathers), pick,’ from rupfen, ropfen, an intensive form of. To this is allied, ‘battered,’ from ruppen for.  ,, ‘trunk (of an elephant), snout,’ from the  rüeȥel, ;  has shortened the real stem vowel as in , from  lâȥen. *ruoȥil, earlier *wruoȥil, are unrecorded. the  wrôt, East  wrôte, formed without the l suffix; also  ruozzen, ‘to root or tear up the earth,’  wroeten and North  wretten, ‘to root,’  wrôtan, wrôtian,  to root. The root wrôt, ‘to root up’ ( is  ‘the uprooting snout of a pig’), from pre- wrôd (yet see ), has not yet been discovered in the non- languages; perhaps  rôdere, ‘to gnaw,’ is  allied. <section end="Rüssel" /> <section begin="Rüste" /> ,, from the late  rust, , ‘repose, rest,’ a variant of , derived from. rust, ‘rest.’ <section end="Rüste" /> <section begin="rüsten" /> ,, ‘to prepare, equip, arm,’ from rüsten,  rusten, earlier *hrustjan, ‘to arm, prepare, adorn’;   rusten,  hyrstan (for hrystan), ‘to deck, adorn.’ A  of  rust, ‘armour,’  hyrst, ‘decoration, adornment, armour,’ which again are verbal abstracts from a  root hruþ, ‘to adorn.’   hreódan, ‘to adorn,’  hrjóða, ‘to cleanse, discharge (a ship).’ May we also connected with this root hruþ,  *hrossa-, ‘charger,’ as a  in ta- in the sense of ‘that which is adorned,’ in so far as it is an object of adornment? The root hruþ (from Aryan kruth, krut?) has been said, probably without any proof, to exist in  κεκορυθμένος, ‘armed,’ κορύσσω, ‘to arm,’ κορυθ-, ‘helmet’; yet the dissyllable root κορυθ- cannot be made to tally with the  hruþ of one syllable. See also. <section end="rüsten" /> <section begin="rüstig" /> ,, ‘prepared for action, vigorous, robust,’ from rüstec, ‘vigorous, armed,’  rustîg, ‘prepared, adorned.’ With regard to the evolution of meaning  , also. hraustr, ‘brave, competent,’ is more remote. <section end="rüstig" /> <section begin="Ruß" /> ,, ‘soot,’ from the  and  ruoȥ, ;   roet,<section end="Ruß" />
