Dok ‘cord, noose,’ tenus, n, ‘cord,’  tantu-s, tantrî, ‘wire, cord,  τένων, ‘sinew,’ are closely allied in meaning to. So too donên ( *þunan), ‘to exert oneself.’   ', ',, ‘fundament,’ a Jewish word, but of doubtful etymology; hardly from táchath, ‘underneath.’   ,, ‘dagger, dirk,’ simply (from the beginning of the 16th ), derived like the  , , and  dolk, from  ( and  tulich?).   ,, ‘umbel,’ from tolde, , ‘top or crown of a plant or tree,’  toldo, ; the  word has apparently a  initial sound. The root is dul (pre- dhel), as is indicated by tola, ‘grape-stalk.’ From Aryan dhel,  θόλος, ‘dome’ (allied in meaning to , ‘umbel’), is formed by gradation. Yet θάλλω, ‘to sprout, bloom,’ θάλος,, ‘young shoot, twig, may also be cognates.   ,, ‘canal,’ from *dol,  dola, , ‘pipe’; akin to  and  dole, ‘pit, ditch.’   ,, ‘interpreter,’ from the  tolmetsche, tolmetze, tulmetsche; a Turk. word (North Turk. tilmač) which found its way into through Magyar (tolmács) or  ( tlǔmačĭ,  tlumacz,  tlumač); also in  tolc, tolke ( further  tolk), ‘interpreter,’ from  tlŭkŭ (whence also  tulkas,  tulks, ‘interpreter’).   ,, ‘cathedral, dome, cupola,’ only, borrowed from  domus (for domus dei;  the  word gudhûs, ‘the house of God, church’). An earlier loan-word is tuom (also dôm),  tuom, ‘a bishop's collegiate church, cathedral,’ which was naturalised in Germany about the 9th ;   scuola from  scŏla, as if it were scôla; so tuom for tôm from dŏmus; see. The form, developed from tuom, kept its ground till the beginning of the last century.   ,, ‘thunder,’ from the  doner,  donar, , corresponding to  þunor,  thunder;  *þunara-,. It is the name for thunder, under which also the weather-god was worshipped (see ). The name comes from the Aryan root ten, discussed under, , and. In its application to sound we meet with this root in  τόνος, ‘string, rope, stretching, tone, accent,’  root tan, ‘to resound, roar, tanayitnú-s, ‘roaring, thundering,’  tonare ( þunian,  *þunôn, ‘to thunder’),  tonitrus; the latter correspondences are, on account of their meaning, the most closely allied to the  words. <section end="Donner" /> <section begin="Donnerstag" /> , ‘Thursday,’ from donerstac, dunrestac,  donarestag;   donderdag,  þunresdœg,  Thursday,  þórsdagr; the day sacred to the  god þunar ( Donar,  Thunar,  þórr for þōnruz); see  and. A remarkable form occurs in, pfinz-tac, ‘Thursday,’ from the   πέμπτη. <section end="Donnerstag" /> ,, ‘to play at dice,’ from the  doppeln, from  toppel, ‘dice-playing,’ which corresponds to  doublet, ‘doublet’ (at dice). See. , (a parallel form,, occurs in the compounds , ), ‘double, duplicate, twofold,’  only, from  double;  dublin, ‘double,’ is a  from the same source. The final t of the word is a secondary suffix, as in,. <section begin="Dorf" /> ,, ‘village, hamlet,’ from the  and  dorf, ; an  word;   thorp,  dorp,  þorp,  thorp, throp (existing now only in proper names);  þorp, ‘hamlet’;  þaúrp signifies ‘fields, land,’ while in the other dialects the  meaning of the word is current (in  haims, ‘village’; see ). The meaning of (Swiss) dorf, ‘visit, meeting,’ connected perhaps with  trŭgŭ, ‘market,’ deserves special notice. If the history of the word is rendered difficult by such variations of meaning, it is made still more so by the *tṛbo, ‘village’;  tref, ‘village’ (to which the name of the  tribe Atrebates is allied), also connected with  tribus, ‘tribe.’ Moreover,  þyrpa, ‘to crowd,’ is closely akin to  τύρβη,  turba, ‘band.’ Note too  þrĕp, þrôp, ‘village,’  trobà,, ‘building.’ <section end="Dorf" /> <section begin="Dorn" /> ,, ‘thorn, prickle,’ from the  and  dorn, ; corresponds to  þaurnus,  þorn,  þorn,  thorn,  doorn,  thorn, ‘thorn’; from pre- trnu-. trŭnŭ, ‘thorn,’ tṛna, ‘blade of grass.’ <section end="Dorn" />
