Etymology: With ῥάδιξ agrees formally Lat. rādīx root, if from IE *u̯rād-; semant. closer is Lat. rāmus branch, twig, which may stand for *u̯rād-mo-; beside it with short vowel ῥάδ-αμνος wich cannot continue IE *u̯rǝd- = *u̯r̥h₂d- (which would give a long α). One compares Goth. waurts etc., but a PIE form cannot be reconstructed *Pok. 1167; cf. also ῥίζα. -- A pre-form *wrad-/wrad- may be non-IE.
