Proto-Germanic
editEtymology
editTwo main etymological pathways have been proposed.
- Most likely from the root Proto-Indo-European *h₃reyH- (“to undulate, churn”), either via either a nasal-infix present *h₃ri-né-H-ti or a *-néwti present *h₃riH-néw-ti.[1][2]
- These forms are 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”).
- Under this etymology, further cognates outside Germanic include Middle Irish rian (“river, way”), Proto-Slavic *rěka (“river”), Latin rivus (“stream”), and Gaulish Rēnos (“that which flows”), which is the source of the name of the river Rhine.
- Alternatively from Proto-Indo-European *h₃r̥-néw-ti (“to flow, move, run”).[3][4][5], whence also Sanskrit ऋति (ṛti, “course, way”).
