I love this reasoning! Give Ises brother Jonathan, give Ises brother Evison
Yes I the word Ras in Amharic means: self, head (anatomically) and also a military head or a head/leader or even the foremost of something. Used identically to the Hebrew Rosh, many different uses for that word and they all mirror the Amharic ones. I haven't ever heard or seen anyone use either term to mean Red but I might be wrong! Interesting note though about the French.
And notable also that the Ethiopian flag is green on top but has been red on top in history as well, it has switched more than once, so I am not sure if red has any relation to being foremost/head though, any more than green does.
