Proto-Italic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Indo-European *reh₁ís (“wealth, goods”).[1]
Noun
[edit]*reis f[2]
Declension
[edit]Originally, the noun was a "regular" i-stem, and would have been *rēj- before vowels (genitive *rējes, dative *rējei etc.), and *rēi before consonants and word-finally (nominative *rēis, perhaps originally disyllabic). In the former, -j- was regularly lost, while in the latter the diphthong was shortened before another consonant, due to Osthoff's law.
