Subject:


Having my Etym Dictio again I looked up the ruw/ruig thing and under ruw it
said:
>From the inflected cases of ruig where the consonant was dropped and
replaced by w as transition sound.
(it's attested as early as 1199 in the toponyme Ruvene)
Under ruig they mention related OE. rúh; ON. rý; Lat. runcare; MWelsh rhwgn,
OIndic rúks.a.
