Lithuanian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *deǵʰ- (“liquid, mixture”) and compared with Old Irish deug (“drink, draught, potion”), Welsh diod (“id”);[1][2] the zero-grade of this root is perhaps found in žuvìs (“fish”) < *dǵʰ-uH-. This derivation is favored by Kloekhorst,[3] though Smoczynski appears to be implicitly skeptical.[4]

- Already Brandenstein (1936: 29) connected the word for ‘fish’ with a root *deǵʰ-, which he translates as “eintauchen”. However, on the basis of OIr. deug (f.) ‘drink, draught, potion’ and Lith. dažaĩ ‘liquid dye, paint’, dažýti ‘to paint’, the nominal root *deǵʰ- may originally rather have meant ‘liquid’. This would indicate that *dǵʰ-uH- originally meant ‘the one belonging to liquid; fish’.
