Proto-Slavic edit

Etymology edit

Probably from Proto-Indo-European *dʰewH- (to gush, to shake, to blow), cognate with Sanskrit धूयते (dhūyate, to shake, to tremble) and Ancient Greek θῡ́ω (thū́ō, to rush in, to storm). Within Balto-Slavic, akin to Lithuanian dujà (dizzle, mist).

Formally, the lemma also bears resemblance with the onomatopoeic Proto-Slavic *duda (duda (type of bagpipe)), *dudati (to play a duda), *dudněti (to buzz, to make noise).

The conjugation pattern is probably normal thematic inflection. On the surface, it looks as *je-inflection, however, the -j- is likely resultant from a compensatory hiatus.

  1. to blow
