Origin: IE [Indo-European] [854] *h₃reǵ- `make straight, direct'

Etymology: Exept for init. ὀ-, rather because of the o-colour a prefix than in ὀ-κέλλω a prothesis (diff. Schwyzer 411), ὀρέγω agrees as themat. root-present with Lat. regō `direct straight, lead, direct, govern' and OIr. rigim `stretch out'; also agree, butß for the vowelquantity, ὀρέξαι to Lat. rēxī and ὀρεκτός to rēctus (ē can be secondary length.), to which also Germ., e.g. Goth. raíhts ` recht', Av. rā̆šta- `directed, ordened, straight'. Genetically independent are the formally agreeing ὄρεγμα, Av. rasman- m. n. `line of battle', Lat. reg-i-men n. `leadership'. Whether there is old connection between the isolately attested ptc. ὀρεγ-νύς, - νύμενος and the Av. adj. raš-nu- `straight' is uncertain; the present ὀριγ-νάομαι with suffixed nasal is rather far off from the nasalinfixed Skt. r̥-ñ-játi `stretches itself, runs'. The group presents many forms, presentformations and verbal nouns, which are not useful for the straight and very regular Greek system (on ὀρωρέχαται, - το s. Schwyzer 771). -- WP. 2, 362ff., Pok. 854ff., W.-Hofmann s. regō, w. rich lit.; Ernout-Meillet s. rĕgō with important notes; also Gonda KZ 73, 151 ff. -- (There is no connection with ἀρήγω.)
