Etymology
gmw-cfr gem-pro 1
From gmw-cfr gmh regenboge, from gmw-cfr goh reganbogo, from gmw-cfr gmw-pro *regnabogō.
The -n- of the first component was lost early on (at a stage when such loss was restricted to positions before non-alveolar consonants, as it still is in lb -). Therefore, the word did not undergo the later contraction from gmw-cfr *Räjen to gmw-cfr Rään.
Pronunciation
gmw-cfr /ˈʀɛːjəˌbɔːɣə/
Noun
gmw-cfr noun m plural Räjeboge
gmw-cfr Ripuarian rainbow
