To what extent those from Persson Beitr. 666, 773, 839 f. considered as extensions of *er(ǝ)- roots really derive rē-d- ‘scratch”, rei-, reu- “tear open”, is doubtful; die by *er(ǝ)- esp. significant meaning of loose, leaking, standing apart allow to miss them completely or recognize at least not as dominant meaning.
