rengti
Lithuanian
Etymology
Related to rangýti (“to roll up, twist”); the semantic development would be something like "to bend and roll things up" > "to arm oneself".[1] The LIV derives the term from *wréngʰ-e-ti, a thematic root present of the root *wrengʰ-, which is also possibly the source of rangýti.[2] However, on the basis of the aforementioned semantic difficulties, the linguist Tijmen Pronk suggests that the term may instead derive from a separate root of the shape *wreng- meaning "to intend," which perhaps emerged from a nasal-present to *werǵ-.[3]
