ruig
Dutch
Etymology
From Middle Dutch ruuch, ru, rou, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Old Dutch *rūh, *rū, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Germanic *rūhaz. The original stem ended in -h-, which disappeared between vowels, giving *rū- in the inflected forms in Old Dutch. This then gave rise to an alternative uninflected form *rū, which developed into Middle Dutch ru, 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.
