meaning ‘to pursue, or rather expel, especially with the idea of punishment,’ is derived from a pre-Teut. wreken, ‘to revenge,’ and wraak, wrake, f., ‘revenge,’ OSax. wrëcan, ‘to drive out, revenge, chastisise’ E. wrikan, ‘to persecute,’ gawrikan, ‘to avenge,’ AS. rëhhan, older *wrëhhan, ‘to revenge, obtain satisfaction for some one’ corresponding to Goth. Rächen, vb., ‘to revenge, avenge,’ from MidHG. ![]() raak, ‘back part of the palate, inner parts of the month.’ Further references for determining the origin of the word are wanting no relation to Kragen is possible. Rachen, m., ‘throat, jaws, abyss,’ from the equiv. ![]() ![]() Rache, f., ‘revenge, vengeance,’ from MidHG. form has a peculiar structure of its own, which, contrary to the usual assumption, presents some difficulties. κορώνη, ‘crow,’ belong to the same root yet the Teut. ram, hram (with mm for mn), m., ‘raven’ all these forms point to Goth.
