Number: 424
Root: dhregh-1
English meaning: to run
German meaning: `laufen'
Material: Arm. durgn, Gen. drgan `Töpferscheibe' (nach Meillet BSL. 36, 122 aus *dhr̥gh-); gr. τρέχω (dor. τράχω), Fut. ἀποθρέξομαι, θρέξω `laufen', τροχός (: air. droch) `Rad', τρόχος `Lauf', τρόχις `Läufer, Bote', τροχίλος `Strandläufer'; kaum τράχηλος `Nacken, Hals'?? PedersenIF. 5, 56, Zup. KZ. 36, 57;
air. droch `Rad' (*drogo-n);
auf Palatal wiese hingegen lett. drāžu, drāzu, drāzt `schnell laufen', lit. padróžti ds., die aber mindestens ebensogut als eine Variante auf Palatal neben dherāgh- `ziehen' gelten könnten. Doch sind sowohl lit. (pa)dróžti als auch lett. drāzt `schnell laufen' identisch mit lit. dróžti, lett. drāzt `schnitzen' (s. dhreĝ-). Die Grundbedeutung ist `schnitzen'. Alle zahlreichen anderen Bedeutungen sind durch burschikose Verwendung zu erklären.
