rooi
Appearance
Afrikaans
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Dutch rood, whose inflected form is rooie in various Dutch vernaculars. In Afrikaans the same alternation would be expected (cf. dood or goed), but the inflected stem was generalized (probably by analogy with other common colour adjectives, which are regularly unchanged in the attributive form).
