Hebrew RATS --- *RĬTS Middle Dutch
A rather simple similarity that shows a difference between the two languages only in the choice of the vowel for pronunciation. A common origin is quite possible.
This probability is supported by the following similarity, that may be a related development of the same root : entry E 0740 (Hebrew 0833), with the English word " roost " .
Note:
- Proto-Semitic. We have no information that would allow a hypothesis. The Hebrew root "R TS TS" that says " to break, crush" is too far off in meaning.
