Tre *drûda-, which could not be from the same root as  trauan, ‘to trust.’ The connection with  drúth, ‘wanton, pert,’  drud, ‘bold,’ is obscure; it may be  allied (Aryan root dhrū̆).  ,, ‘husks, grains,’ from the  tręber,  trębir, ; the corresponding  would be trab. draf, draf, ‘sediment of a brewing’ (to which drabbe, ‘lees,’ is allied),  drœf,  draff, ‘lees, refuse, dregs’ (late  drabbe, ‘lees, dregs, dirt,’ whence  drab, applied to colour and a woman). If the medial ƀ of the base draboz,, could have originated in a guttural, the word might be compared with  dregg ( to  dregs), and hence be probably allied to  frăces, ‘grounds, dregs of oil’; Aryan root dhraq?. It seems to be also connected more remotely with, ‘husks, skins (of grapes).’  ,, ‘to drag, haul,’ from the trëchen, ‘to drag,’ or rather from the intensive form trecken; allied to  and  trekken.  ,, ‘club’ (at cards), properly (18th ), from  trèfle, ‘clover, trefoil’ ( trifolium).  ,, ‘to hit, strike; guess; occur, happen,’ from trëffen,  trëffan,  , ‘to hit, reach, fight’;   drëpan,  drepa, ‘to hit, push, strike.’ As to the  root drep (pre- dhreb) contained in these cognates, nothing positive can be asserted. .  ,, ‘encounter, engagement’; even in trëffen, ; an infinitive used as a , from  trëffen, ‘to fight.’ See.  ,, ‘to drive, impel,’ from the  trîben,  trîban,  ; corresponding to  drîƀan, ‘to drive, drive away, exercise,’  drijven, ‘to drive, carry on (a business), fly, swim,’  to drive ( drîfan),  drífa, ‘to hasten,’  dreiban, ‘to drive.’ The   verbal root drī̆b (from Aryan dhrī̆bh ?, dhrī̆p?), ‘to move quickly, drive,’ has not yet been found in the other Aryan languages. See. ,, ‘to tow a boat,’ only; a  loan-word;  the   treilen ( trœglian,  to trail). On account of trailler, ‘to pull,’ which is probably a corresponding term,  has been supposed to be connected with   trahere. There is no need, however, to ascribe the cognates to a non- origin. ', ',, ‘to dawdle, loiter,’ ‘to turn, move this way and that,’ from late  tręndeln, ‘to turn,’ allied to  tręndel, ‘ball, top,’ which, like  tręndel, ‘sphere’ ( trendle), and  omtrent, ‘towards, on, about’ ( and  trind, ‘round’), are connected with a root trend, ‘to move in a circle.’ ,, ‘to separate, sever,’ from and  tręnnen (older *trannjan),  , ‘to split, separate, cleave,’  ‘to partition off’; factitive of  trinnen, ‘to run away, separate’. This verbal stem is unknown to the other languages, and hence its   and pre- form and meaning cannot be ascertained.  ,, ‘snaffle,’ only, a  word;   trens. The early history of the word is obscure; it is doubtful whether it has been borrowed from trenza, ‘plait, braid (of hair).’   ,, ‘stairs, staircase,’ from  tręppe, trappe,  and , ‘stairs, step’; corresponding to  trap. This word (for which occurs in ) belongs to the cognates of  (see under ), which are likewise of  and  origin; the  form (of the 16th and 17th ) is properly.   ,, ‘brome-grass,’ a and  word, from   trësp, ‘darnel,’ with the genuine  variants trëfs, trëfse,. Modern dialects (e.g., Thuringian) have  ( trefz), so that an  term trëf is probable. Allied to dravik,  drauk ( *drafoc); non- cognates are wanting.   ,, ‘lace, braid (of hair),’ only, from  tresse.   ,, ‘husks, grape-skins,’ from tręster,  trestir, , ‘grains, residue.’ The similarity in meaning to , ‘grains,’ points to a  kinship of  trębir and tręstir ( also  dœrstan, ‘lees’), so that tręstir would represent *trefstir or *tręhstir. dragos, drożdiję and droštija, ‘lees,’ which are  allied to these words, are also similarly related. <section end="Trester" /> ,, ‘to tread, proceed, step,’ from the  trëten,  trëtan; a common   ; corresponding to  and  trëdan,  to tread,  treden,  trudan.
