Proto-Balto-Slavic
Etymology
In view of Proto-Germanic *rugiz (and dubious additional Indo-European cognates),[1] traditionally considered inherited from a Proto-Indo-European (PIE) word for “rye”, one possible reconstruction of which is *Hrugʰís.
However, there are formal problems with a PIE reconstruction, or indeed even of Proto-Balto-Slavic. Reviewing the Balto-Slavic material, Szemerényi concludes that the word was borrowed into the different subbranches separately.[2]
