Thanks to Carlton and Carl Conrad for responding to my question.
I see the morphological activity involved, although I don't claim to understand
it fully. It is clear to me that hRHGNUMI and hRHSSW are from the same root.
But are they two forms of the same word, or two words derived from the same
root? KRAZW seems to show this morphological activity in inflexional forms,
but this is apparently not the case with hRHG, since both hRHGNUMI and hRHSSW
have present tense forms. Thanks for any further help in seeing whether these
are derivationally separate words, or merely inflexionally different forms of
the same word.
