*duttaz

Runic: ᛞᚢᛏᚨᛉ Pronunciation: /ˈdut.tɑz/

noun · masculine · a-stem

Meanings

  1. wisp; tuft of grass or grain
  2. bundle; group; clod clump

Etymology

Uncertain. Perhaps of onomatopoeic origin (Vercoullie 1898). (Orel 2003) derives this from *dʰewh₂- (‘smoke, mist, haze’). Torp, et al. (1909), comparing the reduplicated form from Vedic Sanskrit दूधित (dū́dhita) (dū́dhita, ‘troubled, perplexed, disturbed’), specifically derives this from a similar reduplicated base, *dʰudʰ-nó-s > Proto-Germanic *duttaz via Kluge’s Law.
