However, De Vries proposes "secondary vowel variation". According to the Den Danske Ordbog, related to the ultimate root of Swedish strimma (“stripe, streak”). However, compare the base of Proto-Germanic *raipaz (“strip, strap”). === Noun === reim f (genitive reimar, plural reimar) a lash, thong ==== Declension ==== ==== Descendants ==== Icelandic: reim Faroese: reim Norwegian Nynorsk: reim → Norwegian Bokmål: reim Old Swedish: rem, reem Swedish: rem Old Danish: rem, reem, røm Danish: rem Norwegian Bokmål: rem === References === === Further reading === Zoëga, Geir T.
