reord
Appearance
Old English
[edit]Pronunciation
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]Of uncertain origin. Other Germanic cognates suggest descent from Proto-West Germanic *raʀdu (“voice, language, speech, sound”), from Proto-Germanic *razdō. However, the required sound changes to develop the present spelling indicate a reflex of Proto-Germanic *razdī. Attested neuter forms also suggest Proto-Germanic *razdia.[1]
Cognate with Gothic 𐍂𐌰𐌶𐌳𐌰 (razda) and Old Norse rǫdd.
