noun · masculine · an-stem

Meanings

cord; strap
dog

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *reǵ- (‘to tie, bind’). The "dog" sense may be a separate word, as the Old English shows a differing declension to the Old Norse, and appears to be derived from a u-stem. Compare also Old High German brakko (‘beagle, hunting dog’), brekka (‘bitch, setter’).
