[[raíhts]] [[recht]], Av. [[rāšta-]] [[directed]], [[ordened]], [[straight]]. Genetically independent are the formally agreeing [[ὄρεγμα]], Av. [[rasman-]] m. n. [[line of battle]], Lat. [[reg-i-men]] n. [[leadership]]. Whether there is old connection between the isolately attested ptc. <b class="b3">ὀρεγ-νύς</b>, <b class="b3">-νύμενος</b> and the Av. adj. [[raš-nu-]] [[straight]] is uncertain; the present <b class="b3">ὀριγ-νάομαι</b> with suffixed nasal is rather far off from the nasalinfixed Skt. <b class="b2">r̥-ñ-játi</b> [[stretches itself]], [[runs]]. The group presents many forms, presentformations and verbal nouns, which are not useful for the straight and very regular Greek system (on [[ὀρωρέχαται]], <b class="b3">-το</b> s.
