Tau. , ‘to deafen, stun,’ from töuben,  and  touben, , ‘to deprive of sensation or strength, to annihilate,’ supports the assumed primary meaning.  ,, ‘dove, pigeon,’ from the  tûbe,  tûba, ; corresponding to the   dûbô,  dûfe,  dove,  duif. This common term (for which  ahaks,  culufre, ‘dove,’ are also found) has been connected with a  root dū̆b, ‘to dive,’ which appears in  dŷfan,  to dive,  being regarded as  ‘water-dove.’ It is more probably related to  dub, ‘black,’ duibe, ‘blackness’;   πέλεια, ‘wild pigeon,’ from πελοός, ‘dark blue.’   ,, ‘male pigeon,’ for which tiuber occurs in.  ,, ‘to dip, dive,’ from the  tûcken,  ,  tûhhan,  ;   duiken, ‘to dive, duck,’  to duck (whence also  duck,  dûce); see further. Other terms derived from the root duk, ‘to stoop, dive,’ are wanting. The connection of the word with is improbable.  ,, ‘diver’ (bird), from the  tûhhœre,  tûhhâri,.  ,, ‘to thaw,’ from touwen, töuwen,  douwen, dęwen (dôan),  , ‘to dissolve’;   dooijen,  þâwan,  to thaw,  þeyja. With, , ‘thaw wind,   dooij,  thaw,  þeyr. If the root þaw, ‘to dissolve’, exhibited in all these words, has originated in þagw,  to Aryan tē̆q,  τήκω, ‘to melt,’ τακερός, ‘liquid,’ may be counted as cognates. Yet the words, as well as Osset. t ‘ ayun, ‘to thaw,’ may point to an Aryan root taw.  ,, ‘baptism, christening,’ from the  toufe,  toufa (toufî), ; allied to , , ‘to baptize, christen,’  töufen, toufen,  toufen (from *toufjan). The primary meaning of the is preserved by  toufen, ‘to dip under,’ which is properly a causative of. daupjan, dôpian,  doopen, exhibit the Christian meaning, which  represented by fulwian (fulwiht, ‘baptism’);   kristna, ‘to baptize.’ In its relation to the history of civilisation  is as difficult to determine as  (which see). It cannot be positively affirmed whether the term daup - jan “has been restricted in meaning solely because the Goths, who were first to receive Christianity, rendered the  word βαπτίζειν by the corresponding daupjan; this word, as the designation of the first sacrament, was then adopted from them (with, , , and ) by the Western Teutons, and was so firmly rooted among the latter that the  missionaries could no longer think of supplanting it by their corresponding verb fulwian.” Perhaps, however, the  daupjan had even in the heathen acquired a ritual sense which fitted it to become the representative of the Christian-Romance baptizare ( baitism).  ,, ‘to be of use, be good or fit for,’ from tugen,  tugan (  touc),  , ‘to be capable, useful, suitable, to be of use, to suit.’ Corresponding to  dugan, ‘to be capable, be of use,’  deugen, ‘to be of use,’  dugan,  duga,  dugan, ‘to be fit, of use’ The  verbal root dug (daug) might, like  daúg, ‘much,’ daúksinti, ‘to increase,’ point to Aryan dhugh ( τύχη, ‘fortune,’ τυγχάνω, ‘I am fortunate’?). To this are allied and.  ,, ‘reeling, staggering, frenzy,’ from tū̆meln (tū̆men, tū̆melieren), ‘to reel, stagger,’  tûmalôn (tū̆môn), ‘to turn.’ From the  and  variant with is derived  ( also ). The root dû contained in these words leads to kinship with the  root dhû, ‘to storm along, put in violent motion, shake.’   ,, ‘exchange, barter’; only; in late  (15th ) we meet for the first time with rostiuchœre, ‘horse-dealer’ (  paardentuischer), and verûschen, ‘to exchange.’ The word is properly ;   tuischen, ‘to barter.’ How , ‘to deceive,’ from late  tiuschen (tûschen), ‘to deceive, make game of some one’ (late  tûsch, ‘mockery, joke, deception’), is connected with this word is not clear.  , and, ‘thousand,’ from the   tûsend (tûsunt),  tûsunt, dûsunt; corresponding to  þûsundi,  þûsend,  thousand,  duizend,  thûsind. While the lower numerals up to a hundred are common to all the Aryan languages, the term for a thousand occurs elsewhere only in the group;   tysąšta,
