Compounds: Compp. ἀνα- (A.) κατα- (H.). θεσπι-δᾰές ( πῦρ, Μ 177 etc.) `flaming godlike' (rather to aor. δαῆναι then to δάος?). δᾳδοῦχος `holding a torch'.

Derivatives: δάος n. (\< *δάϜος) `torch' (Hom.) with δᾱνός \< *δαϜεσ-νός `good for a torch, dry' (ο 322, Ar. Pax 1134 [lyr.]). δᾱλός m. `fire-brand' (Il.) \< *δᾰϜελός (= δαβελός δαλός.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [179] * deh₂u- `burn'

Etymology: As shown by δεδαυμένος, δαίω is from *δαϜ-ι̯ω. From metathesized (cf Kor. ΔιδαίϜων) *δαίϜω originates Att. δᾳς (δᾱις \< *δαιϜ-ις). The perfect δέδηα \< *δέ-δᾱϜ-α resembles Skt. du-dāv-a (gramm.), to which present du-nó-ti `burn'. Further Skt. forms in Pok. 179f. So IE *d(e)h₂u̯-? Further perhaps OIr. dōim `burn', OHG zuscen `id.'. See δύη; and δήϊος.
