ruig: difference between revisions

From {{inh|nl|dum|ruuch}}, {{m|dum|ru}}, {{m|dum|rou}}, from {{inh|nl|odt|*rūh}}, {{m|odt|*rū}}, from {{inh|nl|gem-pro|*rūhaz}}, {{m|gem-pro|*rūhwaz}}. The original stem ended in -h-, which disappeared between vowels, giving {{m|odt|*rū-}} in the inflected forms in Old Dutch. This then gave rise to an alternative uninflected form {{m|odt|*rū}}, which developed into Middle Dutch {{m|dum|ru}}, {{m|dum|rou}}, modern Dutch {{termm|nl|ruw|lang=nl}}, {{term|rouwm|lang=nl|rouw}}. The original uninflected form was back-formed to {{termm|ruig|lang=nl|ruig}} based on other words with -ch in the uninflected form and -g- in inflected forms, similar to what happened to {{termm|hoog|lang=nl|hoog}}.
