*rinnaną

Runic: ᚱᛁᚾᚨᚾᚨ Pronunciation: /ˈrin.nɑ.nɑ̃/

verb · Strong class 3

Meanings

to run, to rush (move quickly)
to flow

Etymology

Two main etymological pathways have been proposed.

** These forms are supported by cognates Sanskrit रिणाति (rinā́ti) (rinā́ti, ‘to make turbulent, cause to flow’), Ancient Greek ὀρί̄νω (orí̄nō) (orí̄nō, ‘to churn up’), and Russian ри́нуться (rínutʹsja, ‘to rush’).

** Under this etymology, further cognates outside Germanic include Middle Irish rian (‘river, way’), Proto-Slavic *rěka (‘river’), Latin rivus (‘stream’), and Gaulish Rēnos (‘that which flows’), which is the source of the name of the river Rhine.

Either way, both paths ultimately trace back to the same root, *h₃er- (‘to move, stir’).
