A rare word attested in a 17th century manuscript ofBjarnar saga Hítdœlakappa. The root vowel doesn't correspond toProto-West Germanic*reumō, which is why it's usually assumed to be a late etymological nativization ofMiddle Low Germanrême. However, de Vries proposes "secondary vowel variation". According to the Den Danske Ordbog, related to the ultimate root ofSwedishstrimma(“stripe, streak”).[1] However, compare the base ofProto-Germanic*raipaz(“strip, strap”).[2]
