S. #raph n. “?rope, strap” (Category: Rope, Cord)

S. #raph, n. “rope, strap” (Category: Rope, Cord): G. laim “thong, rope”

A word attested only as an element in talraph “stirrup” in the name Udalraph “Stirrupless” (UT/313). David Salo suggested raph might mean “rope” or “strap” so that “stirrup = foot rope/strap” (GS/281). If so, it might be related to the 1930s root ᴹ√RAP “bind” (EtyAC/RAP).
