Parallels can be found in Germanic: Middle Dutch rogghe/rochghe (Dutch rog) and Middle Low German rugge, from Western Proto-Germanic *rugg-, as well as Old English reohhe, Middle English reyhhe, reȝge, rygh all meaning "ray". Taken together with the Latin, these forms could point to a dialectal Proto-Indo-European *raK- ~ *ruK- (“ray”); however, the phonetic correspondences are unusual even within Germanic, and this could indicate a shared loanword or substrate origin for both the Germanic and Latin. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈraj.ja] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈraː.ja] === Noun === raia f (genitive raiae); first declension ray (a marine fish with a flat body) ==== Declension ==== First-declension noun. ==== Descendants ==== === References === === Further reading === “raia”, in Charlton T.
