dʰewbʰ- ‘deep’ and dʰewbʰ- ‘to whisk, be obscured’[edit]

Now that dʰewb ‘deep’ has been moved to dʰewbʰ, various pages which previously pointed (a non-existent page?) dʰewbʰ- ‘to whisk, be obscured; black’ are now pointing to dʰewbʰ- ‘deep’. e.g. Proto-Germanic *daubaz and Proto-Celtic *dubus. Are dʰewbʰ- ‘deep’ and dʰewbʰ- ‘to whisk, be obscured; black’ actually the same word? --Caoimhin (talk) 20:46, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Caoimhin: Also at Proto-Germanic *dūbǭ, where I just added a sourced etymology from Kroonen. I'm sceptical about the “to whisk” root and suspect it could be spurious, a relic from the Pokorny era. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 01:09, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
