*deyḱ-to point out, show
verbWeak class 2to show, pointto mark(SS: this was originally “taiknōną” but changing it based on Kroonen. )Iterative from earlier paradigm *taikkōþi ~ *tigunanþi, from Pre-Germanic *doyḱ-néh2-ti ~ *diḱ-n̥h2-énti from Proto-Indo-European root *deyḱ- (‘to point out, show’). If Kroonen’s analysis is correct, the form may continue an older o/zero-ablauting iterative pattern, with the singular in o-grade beside the plural in zero-grade. The Old High German reflex shows a **taigōną variant built from the original plural forms.
