Relation with South Slavic тражити?

I have been looking for the etymology of Serbo-Croatian тражити (“to seek, to search for”) (cognate with the dialectic Macedonian тражи (traži, “to search for”), Bulgarian тражя (tražja, “to trace”)). It seems that it is related with Latin trahō (“to drag”), just like *tъrgati, so I was wondering if I should add it as a related term. The problem is that I cannot tell if it resulted via R-metathesis from proto-Slavic *toržiti > South Sl. *tražiti or has always been with a long grade in the root, i.e. from proto-Slavic *tražiti. Does anyone have any info on this topic? Bezimenen (talk) 15:06, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
