Proto-Indo-Iranian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Probably from Proto-Indo-European *(h₁)rey-s, an s-extension of *rey- (“to scratch, cut, tear”), and connected to Sanskrit लिख् (likh, “to write”), Old Norse rista (“to cut, carve”) and Lithuanian risums (“fissure, slit”).[1][2] However, Cheung appears to be skeptical of this.[3]
Root
[edit]*rayš-
