Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Origin disputed, theory of Germanic borrowing is not confirmed and heavily contested. Either from Proto-Indo-European *dʰewh₂- (“to smoke”), akin to Proto-Slavic *duti (“to blow, to inflate”), *dymъ (“smoke”) or a loan from a reflex of Proto-Germanic *dōmijaną (“to judge, think”), or derived from *duma, nonetheless from Germanic. The exact donor language cannot be ascertained.

Verb

*dumati impf

  1. to think
