    reĝ-1

    English meaning: right, just, to make right; king

    Deutsche Übersetzung: “gerade, gerade richten, lenken, recken, strecken, aufrichten” (also unterstũtzend, helfend); direction, line (Spur, Geleise) under likewise

    Grammatical information: forms IE neither root present nor perfect tense; participle perf. pass. reĝ-to- “ law “

    Note: Alb. shqipe “eagle” seems related to O.Ind. r̥ji-pyá “ darting along “ epithet of the bird śyená- (“eagle, falcon”), [Rom. şoim “falcon”], Av. ǝrǝzi-fya- (cf. Gk. ἄρξιφος ἀετὸς παρὰ Πέρσαις H., αἰγίποψ), Arm. arcui (< *arci-wi) “eagle” which is evidently a form of the same word; that it is Macedonian confirms its reality. Alb., Gk., Av., and O.Ind. prove that from Root er-1, or- : “eagle” derived extended Root ar(e)-ĝ- (arĝ-?), r̥ĝi- : “glittering, white, fast” and its subsequent zero grade Root reĝ-1 : “right, just, to make right; king”.
