Forgive me, if you can, my unbearable pedantism, but Lith. raguotas
reflects Baltic *rag-uo1-tas < *rag-o:t-as (here -uo1- to distinguish
from *-uo2-<*-o:u- in some circumstances, like in *juo2das).
Denominative suffixes -uot- and -ot- (< *-a:t-) seem to be equally
distributed in Lithuanian (or at least the difference misses me): cf.
barzduotas (barzda 'beard'), but skarotas (skara 'headcloth').
