Proto-Germanic

Etymology

Probably from *dubjaną + *-ilaz. Perhaps ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)tewp- (“to stick, push”), see also Proto-Slavic *tъpati (“to stomp”), Ancient Greek τύπτω (túptō, “to beat, strike”).[1] Kroonen, on the other hand, derives the word from a Proto-Indo-European *dʰewbʰ- (“wedge”), adducing only the marginal and lexicographically attested Ancient Greek τύφοι (túphoi, “wedges”) as a cognate.[2]

Noun

*dubilaz m[2]

  1. peg; dowel
