Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /ʁyə̯/
  • Rhymes: -yə̯

Etymology

From Proto-West Germanic *hrau, from Proto-Germanic *hrawaz. The umlaut is unusual (compare Luxembourgish réi). It might be that the inflected stem, which was originally *hraw-, was reformed locally to *hrōj- (elsewhere hrō-, hrōw-, hrāw-). Compare Limburgish rüh, another term that has the same umlaut.

  1. raw (uncooked)
  2. unprocessed, crude, raw
  3. (figuratively) unrefined, rude, brutal
