ruig

Dutch

Etymology

From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Middle Dutch (deprecated template usage) ruuch, (deprecated template usage) ru, (deprecated template usage) rou, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Old Dutch *(deprecated template usage) rūh, *(deprecated template usage) rū, from Template:proto. The original stem ended in -h-, which disappeared between vowels, giving *(deprecated template usage) rū- in the inflected forms in Old Dutch. This then gave rise to an alternative uninflected form *(deprecated template usage) rū, which developed into Middle Dutch (deprecated template usage) ru, (deprecated template usage) rou, modern Dutch (deprecated template usage) ruw, (deprecated template usage) rouw. The original uninflected form was back-formed to (deprecated template usage) ruig based on other words with -ch in the uninflected form and -g- in inflected forms, similar to what happened to (deprecated template usage) hoog.
