Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: The above verbal system is based on ῥαν-, which, if inherited, represents the zero grade of IE *u̯ren- or * sren- (of which one would expect *u̯\/sr̥n-). Certain non-Gr. cognates are unknown. After Solmsen KZ 37, 590ff. to a Slav. verb for `let fall, shed' in Russ. ronítь, Czech. roniti, Pol. ronić a.o., which can go back on *u̯ron-, but may be explained diff. (WP. 1, 139, Pok. 329). Unclear is Hitt. ḫurnāi- `besprinkle' (Szemerényi KZ 73, 74). Who analyses the root as u̯r-en- or sr-en-, can locate the word in a wellknown surrounding. -- (Improb. is the connection with ῥαίνω (as *u̯rn̥-dh-, s. above) of ῥαθάμιγξ; s. v.) -- The variation δ\/ν is well known as a Pre-Greek phenomenon (Kuiper, FS Kretschmer 1, 216). This proves that the verb is Pre-Greek.
