Occas. also metaph.: a '''r.''' o' folk, ''a crowd of people.'' -- O.N. hrúga, f., ''a heap'', or Icel. hrúka, No. ruka (uu), f., id. -- In Du. is used a form ru [rū] corresponding to Ork. ru. This form may equally well spring from O.N. *hrúfa, No. ruva (uu), f., ''a heap, pile'', as from "hrúga", -- even more prob., acc. to Shetl. phonology. Acc. to Orkneyan tradition, however, "Kobbi Ru [rū]" is identical with "Kolbeinn hrúga" in Orkneyinga Saga.
