Q. ral- v. “*to return” (Category: to Return, Give Back)

Q. ral-, v. “*to return (to somewhere)” (Category: to Return, Give Back)

An untranslated verb appearing in the Outline of Phonology (OP2) as a derivative of √RAD, an example of how medial d dissimilated to l after a preceding r (PE19/99). In a Discord conversation from 2018-07-08, Elaran suggested it might mean “*return” based on the translation of its root ᴹ√RAD “back, return” from The Etymologies of the 1930s (Ety/RAD). It was further suggested that ral- might be only intransitive “return (to somewhere)”, as opposed to transitive [ᴺQ.] ralya- “return (something)”.
