Rare enough to double-check
Rha is uncommon French at frequency #66,302 among 5,742 “R” headwords, classed as aproper noun, transcribed \ɾʰa\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Volga, fleuve de Sarmatie.".
Rha doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable French rules. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
No borrowing history is documented for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct French form is Rha, spelled R-H-A.
