runger (s.xiiiin)

[gdw]

[ FEW: 10,560a rumigare; Gdf: ; GdfC: 10,589c rongier; TL: 8,1460 rongier 1  /8,1461 rongier 2; DEAF:  rongier; DMF:  ronger; TLF:  ronger; OED:  rounge v.; MED:  roungen v.; DMLBS: 2869c rumigare /2867c rugire 2 ]
rogner,  ronger,  rongier,  rounger;  ruigner,  rungier,  roiner (l. ronjer?) roncher  

This verb seems to overlap with roigner (‘to cut trim’), which, though similar in form and prone to cross over in some of its senses, derives from a different etymology (*rotundiare). While AND1 treated both verbs in one entry (roigner), AND2 separates them on an etymological/semantic basis.
