From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   R \R\ ([aum]r).
      R, the eighteenth letter of English alphabet, is a vocal
      consonant. It is sometimes called a semivowel, and a liquid.
      See Guide to Pronunciation, [sect][sect] 178, 179, and
      250-254. [bd]R is the dog's letter and hurreth in the
      sound.[b8] --B. Jonson.
  
      Note: In words derived from the Greek language the letter h
               is generally written after r to represent the aspirated
               sound of the Greek "r, but does not affect the
               pronunciation of the English word, as rhapsody,
               rhetoric. The English letter derives its form from the
               Greek through the Latin, the Greek letter derived from
               the Ph[oe]nician, which, it is believed, is ultimately
               of Egyptian origin. Etymologically, R is most closely
               related to l, s, and n; as in bandore, mandole; purple,
               L. purpura; E. chapter, F. chapitre, L. capitulum; E.
               was, were; hare, G. hase; E. order, F. ordre, L. ordo,
               ordinis; E. coffer, coffin.

      Palestine. "Among the gray hills of Galilee it is still 'the roe
      upon the mountains of Bether,' and I have seen a little troop of
      gazelles feeding on the Mount of Olives close to Jerusalem
      itself" (Tristram).
     
         The Hebrew word ('ayyalah) in Prov. 5: 19 thus rendered (R.V.,
      "doe"), is properly the "wild she-goat," the mountain goat, the
      ibex. (See 1 Sam. 24:2; Ps. 104:18; Job 39:1.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Rue
      a garden herb (Ruta graveolens) which the Pharisees were careful
      to tithe (Luke 11:42), neglecting weightier matters. It is
      omitted in the parallel passage of Matt. 23:23. There are
      several species growing wild in Palestine. It is used for
      medicinal and culinary purposes. It has a powerful scent, and is
      a stimulant. (See {MINT}.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Rye
      =Rie, (Heb. kussemeth), found in Ex. 9:32; Isa. 28:25, in all of
      which the margins of the Authorized and of the Revised Versions
      have "spelt." This Hebrew word also occurs in Ezek. 4:9, where
      the Authorized Version has "fitches' (q.v.) and the Revised
      Version "spelt." This, there can be no doubt, was the Triticum
      spelta, a species of hard, rough-grained wheat.
