Semantically <b class="b2">ūrj(ā́</b>) fits much better to <b class="b3">ὀργάω</b>, which preserved the original concrete meaning. The same transference to the psychological area as <b class="b3">ὀργή</b> shows OIr. [[ferc]] f. [[rage]] (IE <b class="b2">*e</b>). WP. 1, 289 w. lit., Pok. 1169, Mayrhofer 1,116, Dehò Ist. Lomb. 91, 372f.; older lit. also in Bq.
