Indic rag(h)-

[Fabrice Cavoto]

 Dear IEnists,
 Does anybody have some information about the Indic verbal root
 ragh-/rag-/rak-, which has a variety of meanings incl. 'to obtain, to get'.
 According to Monier-Williams, this root is only found in the root list
 appended to Panini's grammar of Sanskrit.  I was wondering if
 anybody knows of this root in any other context, especially in
 in later  Indic (Indo-Aryan) or even in the rest of
 Indo-Iranian?  Also, if anybody knows the current state of
 the debate concerning the reality of Sanskrit roots that
 are only attested in the native grammatical or lexical
 works.

 Best regards
 Fabrice Cavoto.
