rube Rube
German
Etymology
de gem-pro ine-pro 1
From de gmh rüebe, goh ruobe, from de goh ruoba, from de gmw-pro *rōbijā.
Cognate with dum roeve, gml rö̂ve (modern nds Rööv). Forms with back vowel in Upper German dialects are due to umlaut hindrance before labials, but is rófa, da roe, sv rova require a byform gem-pro *rōbǭ. See also la rāpum rāpa, rāpum, sla-pro *rěpa, etc., all meaning “beet, turnip”. An ablaut variant de gem-pro *rēbǭ underlies in goh rāba (if it is not from Latin).
