Root

one who does "richt" — root not confirmed

The root itself we could not confirm. We will not invent one.

Suffix

-er — one who does.

Sound

2 syllables · even

Two syllables — step and answer. The steadiest rhythm there is: a heartbeat. It leaves on a held sound — the name does not break off, it dissolves.
