δαίωto kindle*deh₂w-kindle, burn
verbStrong class 3to burnFrom Pre-Germanic *dendʰ-n-e-ti, from a Germanic root with quasi-Indo-European *dendʰ- (‘to burn, kindle’), of unclear ultimate origin, as solid cognates outside of Germanic are lacking. Osthoff suggests Proto-Indo-European *deh₂w- (‘kindle, burn’) (compare Ancient Greek δαίω (daíō, ‘to kindle’)), but Pokorny rejects this.
