"rágas" meaning in Proto-Balto-Slavic

See rágas in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Fick and Prellwitz derived it from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ergʰ- (“to begin, rule”) (compare Ancient Greek ἄρχω (árkhō, “I rule, govern, begin”)), but Boisacq regards the connection as dubious. Sometimes compared to Georgian რქა (rka), Laz ქრა (kra), Mingrelian რქა (rka).
