Roga & rog are the root-words for many other words.

roga & rog

These ROOT-WORDS are ROGA & ROG which come from the Latin rogare meaning TO ASK & BEG. The interesting thing is that as the words accumulate, the meanings change. No. 1 is distinctly prayer; No. 2 and No. 3 begin to claim selfishly, to presume. In No. 4 and No. 5 pride enters in. In Nos. 6, 7, and 8 the dictator annuls his treaties, breaks his word. In Nos. 9, 10, and 11 jealousy and ill will enter into the words, and they have a belittling effect.
