resoaiger, resuagier, reswager

In AND¹, a form rasoiaiger was listed as a variant spelling. On etymological grounds (re + asuager vs. re + suager) such a form would require a separate AND entry. Unfortunately, at the present time no supporting attestation (on which to base such an entry) can be traced.
