[edit]Etymology
[edit]A rare word attested in a 17th century manuscript of Bjarnar saga Hítdœlakappa. The root vowel doesn't correspond to Proto-West Germanic *reumō, which is why it's usually assumed to be a late etymological nativization of Middle Low German rême. However, de Vries proposes "secondary vowel variation". According to the Den Danske Ordbog, related to the ultimate root of Swedish strimma (“stripe, streak”).[1] However, compare the base of Proto-Germanic *raipaz (“strip, strap”).[2]
