Reitia (Haas Sprache 2, 224).Etymology: Since long ὀρθός from *ϜορθϜός (cf. βορσόν σταυρόν. Ήλεῖοι H.) is identified with Skt. ūrdhvá- `raised, high'; the phonetic details are however debated and many times discussed, s. Schwyzer 363 w. lit. a. 301, also WP. 1, 289f. (Pok. 1167); cf. esp. ὀργ-ή: ūrj-ā́; ūrdhvá- for *ūrdhá- after r̥ṣvá- `high' ? (Otrębski Ling. Posn. 5, 175). Lat. arduus `high, steep', OIr. ard `high, great' as also Av. ǝrǝdva- `high' are unclear (s. W.-Hofmann s.v.); at least the Lat. a. Celt. words might have to be connected diff. (WP. 1, 148f., Pok. 339). Old inherited ὀρθός = ūrdhvá- belong to a verb, which is preserved in Skt. várdhati `raise, make grow' and in Av. varǝd- `id.' From the other IE languages, notably from Balto-Slav. and Germ., several isolated verbal nouns and diff. formed verbal forms have been adduced; s. the lit. and Bq s. v.; cf. also on ὄρθρος.Page in Frisk: 2,415-416Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ὀρθός
