rüh

• rieh, reh (Moselle Franconian)

From Middle High German rō, from Old High German (h)rō, 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-).

• IPA^(key): /ʀyː/

rüh (masculine rühe, feminine rüh, comparative rüher, superlative et rühste)

1. (Ripuarian) raw, uncooked

   Se mote Räänwaßer drenke on rüh Fleesch äße.

   They had to drink rainwater and eat raw meat.

• puddelrüh (“stark naked”)

Of unknown origin.

• IPA^(key): (if it has no suffix or if its suffix starts with a consonant, e.g. rühnek)
• IPA^(key): (in inflected forms when followed by a vowel, e.g. rühöt)
• IPA^(key): (another pronunciation variant, regardless of any subsequent sounds)
• Rhymes: -ry

rüh (usually uncountable, plural rühök or rühek)

1. (pathology) scabies (a contagious skin infestation in humans by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei)
2. mange (a skin disease of mammals caused by parasitic mites)

The singular instrumental and translative case may differ depending on the dialect. When the word is pronounced with a silent H, they are rühvel and rühvé, respectively, but for speakers who pronounce the H, the corresponding forms will be rühhel and rühhé.
