Anagrams[edit]
Albanian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Albanian *(h)eríja- 'of this time, from this time, presently, of now > new, recent', a derivative of Alb. herë '(one) time, hour' etc., which is an old loan-word from Latin hōra 'time, hour' etc.; the Albanian substantive is historically not compatible with a reconstruction Proto-Indo-European *h₁r̥wo-, zero-grade of *h₁orwo- (compare Old English earu (“quick”), Tocharian B ārwer (“ready”), Avestan aruuant- (“quick, brave”)), as it has been proposed in the literature. According to R. Matasovic (A grammatical sketch of Albanian for students of Indo-European. Zadar 2018), the etymology of the adjective is controversial and has no accepted source or from substrate.
Pronunciation[edit]
Adjective[edit]

Danish[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Middle Low German rigen (“to put in folds”), from or related to Old Saxon rekkian (“to extend”). Distantly related to Old Norse rekja (“to unfold, unwind”), hence a doublet of række (“to reach”).
Pronunciation[edit]
Verb[edit]
ri (imperative ri, present rir or rier, past riede, past participle riet)
Derived terms[edit]
Esperanto[edit]
Pronunciation[edit]
Pronoun[edit]
ri (accusative rin, possessive ria)
- (gender-neutral, nonstandard) they (singular). A gender-neutral singular third-person personal pronoun.
- 2006, “Maldormemo mia”, in Eksenlime, performed by La Perdita Generacio:
- Najbaro laboranta en la sama laborejo / En la bela domo ri ne pentras plu
- A neighbor working in the same workplace / In the beautiful house they don't paint anymore
Usage notes[edit]
In 1976, the gender-neutral pronoun ri was presented for the first time alongside the pronouns li (he) and ŝi (she). Until about 2010, it remained a seldom used experimental word, but after 2010 its use has increased significantly, especially in youth circles in Western countries. Comparable to English epicene pronouns. Also read about gender reform in Esperanto. Alternatives include expanding the use of the demonstrative pronoun tiu (“that one”) or using the similarly proscribed ŝli.
