Proto-Germanic

Etymology

Comparable to Proto-Balto-Slavic *rugís, which may allow for the reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European *rugʰ-is.[1] It may also be related to Bulgarian [script needed] (brica) and Thracian *briza, though the Thracian term is perhaps attributable to Proto-Indo-European *wrugʰ-is. The EIEC explicitly doubts the supposed Thracian and Bulgarian comparanda, referring to them as "unconvincing."[2] According to Kroonen, the limited geographic distribution of these forms perhaps indicates a post proto-Indo-European origin.[3] The EIEC likewise suggests that the Germanic and Balto-Slavic forms may be of substrate origin.[2] A possible Indo-European reflex has also been identified in Proto-Permic *ruʒ́ / *ruʒ́äg (whence Udmurt ӟег (dźeg)). It could be derived either from hypothetical Proto-Iranian *ruǰa-, *ruȷ̌ika-, from an early Slavic dialect, or from an Iranian language that had itself borrowed the word from Slavic, given that other Pre-Proto-Slavic loans exist in Ossetic.[4]
