Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/rinnaną
Proto-Germanic edit
Etymology edit
Most likely from Proto-Indo-European *h₃ri-né-H-ti (“to undulate, churn”) (nasal-infix present), a form supported by cognates Sanskrit रिणाति (rinā́ti, “to make turbulent, cause to flow”), Ancient Greek ὀρί̄νω (orí̄nō, “to churn up”), and Russian ри́нуться (rínutʹsja, “to rush”).[1]
Alternatively from Proto-Indo-European *h₃r̥-néw-ti (“to flow, move, run”).[2][3][4][5]
Cognates outside Germanic include Middle Irish rian (“river, way”), Proto-Slavic *rěka (“river”), Latin rivus (“stream”), Sanskrit ऋति (ṛti, “course, way”), and Gaulish Rēnos (“that which flows”), which is the source of the name of the river Rhine.
