Baluchi[edit]

Verb[edit]

دیگ (dayag) (past stem دات (dát))

  1. to give

Persian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Middle Persian dyk' (dēg, cauldron), from Proto-Iranian *dai(a)-ka-, from Proto-Iranian *daiH- (to shine, radiate, light a fire), with possible semantic contamination from Proto-Iranian *daĵ- (to burn).[1] The former is from Proto-Indo-European *deyh₂- (to shine, be bright) and cognate with Sanskrit दीप् (dīp, to blaze, illuminate), Ancient Greek δέατο (déato, shone), and Old Norse teitr (cheerful), while the latter is from Proto-Indo-European *dʰegʷʰ- (to burn).[2]

An alternative theory derives the word from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeyǵʰ- (to form, shape).
