1 rökkja (rǫkkja)

pret. rak, an obsolete strong verb; [Engl. reach; Ivar Aasen rökkja; provinc. Swed. räkkja; Dan. række]:—to suffice, D. N. iv. 457, 564; meðan eigi rak lausa penninga til, i. 723. In mod. usage Icel. say, það hrökkr ekki til, confounding this word with hrökkva, which seems to be a different word.
