Etymology
Shetland use
- Glossary of Shetland and Orkney Words (1866)
- Edmondston, Thomas
Roo, a heap of any kind, to pile up in a heap, O. and S.; da. raag-e, id.; rage, id.
Roog. See Roo, a heap, etc.; da. raag-e, id.
- A Glossary of the Shetland Dialect (1914)
- Angus, James Stout
RŪIG, n. a heap. A "peat ruig"--a pile of peats. v.p., to make a ruig.
- [720] ru2 [rū], sb., a heap, pile; a ru o' peats, o' eart', o' stens, o' claes, o' dirt. Du. A form rug [rūg], q.v., is more wide-spread.
- [721] rug [rūg], sb., a heap, pile; a r. o' peats, a pile of peats (of several resins, up to ten); a r. o' stens, a r. o' eart'. 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.
- rug [rūg], vb., to heap, pile up; to r. peats, to pile up peats into rugs for drying by collecting the smaller piles, resins (q.v.), into one; to r. de hay, to rake up the hay (spread for drying) into small piles (P.). ru [rū], to ru de peat: Du. -- O.N. hrúga (or *hrúka), vb., to heap, pile up. See rug, sb.
