*Hrewdʰ- to clear out ruo I dig out *rъvati to tear *(H)rewH-

verb Strong class 2 to clear, eradicate, remove Apparently from a Proto-Indo-European *Hrewdʰ- (‘to clear out’), though with no certain cognates outside of Germanic. The main cited possible cognate is Avestan 𐬭𐬀𐬊𐬌𐬜𐬌𐬌𐬀 (raoⁱδiia, ‘(possibly) to be made arable’), though this is uncertain due to the Avestan term itself having an uncertain interpretation. Said root has been linked to Proto-Indo-European *(H)rewH- (‘to dig out’) (whence also Latin ruo (‘I dig out’), Proto-Slavic *rъvati (‘to tear’)).
