With ῥοικός agree Lith. ráišas (raĩšas) `limping, lame' (cf. for the meaning κυλλός `crooked, crippled'), Germ., MEng. wrāh `wrong, stubborn', NDutch wreeg `stiff', formally also Av. urvaēsa m. `whirlwind, tuningpoint of the racecourse', IE *u̯riḱo-s m. approx. `turning, curvature', adj. `turned, crooked'. Beside it from IE *u̯reiḱo-s a.o. MLG wrīch `forbidden, distorted, fixed, stiff etc.' Corresponding primary verbs: a zero grade yot-present in Av. urvis-ya- `turn in circles, turn about'; a full grade root-present in OE wrēon (PGm. *u̯rīhan, IE *u̯reiḱ-) with pret. wrāh (PGm. *u̯raih, IE *u̯roiḱ-a) `envelop' (on the meaning cf. εἰλύω and 2. εἰλέω; s.vv.). A denominative or deverbative deriv. is the ἅπ. λεγ ῥικάζεται H.; the form ῥιξικά-ζεται, thus glossed (and with στροβεῖται), must, if at all rightly transmitted, be an expressive enlargement; cf. Baunack Phil. 70, 370. -- Further representatives of this richly developed root in WP. 1, 278 f.. Pok. 1158f., W.-Hofmann s. rīca ('enveloping kerchief'; IE *u̯reiḱā), Fraenkel s. ráišas 1.; there rich lit.Page in Frisk: 2,656Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ῥικνός
