Dam properly the Jewish winding-sheet worn on the great ‘day of atonement’ (hence ‘to wear the ’); from  talîth. According to others, the word is based on dallût, ‘poverty.’  ,, ‘at that time, then,’ only. In the expression is des mâles, ‘at that time.’ See.  ,, ‘damask,’ early , derived, like damast,  damask, from  (  damas,  damasto); based on the name of the city.   ', ',, ‘buck’; in often written  in the attempt to find some cognate for this unintelligible word. tâme, from tâmo, dâmo, ; the word is of  origin, dâma ( daim,, daine, ). It is remarkable that in the labial nasal is lost —  dâ,  doe; perhaps the latter is of genuine  origin. The initial d of the word is due to the  original, or to  influence.   ,, ‘draught-board,’ for , from , which was first borrowed by from  dame ( domina).   ', ',, ‘dull, drowsy, crazy,’ only; a  and  word ( damiš, taumiš); from a  root þêm,  to  tam (tâmyati), ‘to get tired, out of breath,’ whence  têmulentus, ‘drunk.’ Probably allied to the cognates of.   ,, ‘dam, dike, mole,’ tam(mm); the d of the  word compared with the t of  points to a recent borrowing from ;   and  dam (a bank),  dammr. has only the faurdammjan, ‘to embank, hinder’; akin to  demman,  to dam,.   ,, ‘to grow dusk, dawn,’ from dëmere,  (also even  dëmerunge, ),  dëmar, , ‘crepusculum,’ a  of a  root þem, Aryan tem, ‘to be dusk’ (see also ). preserves in the Heliand the cognate thimm, ‘gloomy’; allied to  and  deemster, ‘dark.’ A part from  the assumed root tem, meaning ‘to grow dusk,’ is widely diffused;  tamas, ‘darkness’ (exactly corresponding to  dëmar), tamrá-s, ‘obscuring, stifling’; támisrâ,, ‘dark night’;  temel, ‘darkness,’ temen, ‘dark grey.’ With the latter words  tenebrœ, ‘darkness,’ is connected (br in   from sr; n for m on account of the following labial, a process of differentiation);  tĭma, ‘darkness,’  tamsùs, ‘dark,’ tamsà, , ‘dusk,’ témti, ‘to grow dusk.’ In the earlier  periods we have further  dinster,  dinstar, which are so related to  támisrâ, ‘night,’ and  tenebrœ, as to imply a  þinstra- as an  stem; in that case t has intruded between s and r, as in. With regard to dinster  also   and.   ,, ‘vapour, steam,’ from dampf, tampf, , ‘vapour, smoke’; tampf seems to have been the strictly  form; allied to the   dampe,  and  damp, ‘moisture’; not recorded in the earlier, periods. Formed by gradation from a  —  dimpfen, ‘to fume, smoke,’ which has disappeared in ; its factitive, however, still exists —,  dempfen,  sense, ‘to cause to smoke,’ i.e, ‘to stifle (a fire).’ See also ;  may also be allied to it. <section end="Dampf" /> <section begin="Dank" /> ,, ‘thanks, acknowledgment, recompense,’ from the  and  danc, ; corresponds to  þagks (þanks),  þanc,  thanks. Etymologically is simply ‘thinking,’ hence ‘the sentiment merely, not expressed in deeds.’ See ;. <section end="Dank" /> ,, from the  and  danne, ‘then, at that time, in such a case, thereupon’; properly identical with ; in  and  danne is used indifferently for  and. þonne, þœnne, then. The  is based on the pronominal stem þa- ; yet the mode of its formation is nor quite clear. ,, and the following word. ,, only preserved in the phrase , ‘thence, from thence’; dannen,  dannana, dannân, and danân, ‘inde, illinc’;  þanon,  thence.
