Its so interesting. If you follow dōgaz one more step you get to Proto-Indi-European dheg: (to burn).
Origin of Latin “dies” is also from PIE but a different word: dyews: (sky, heaven).
Interesting Latin dies (day) and deus (deity) are very much related since both come from dyews.
- riffraff 3y agoMy favorite trivia related to dyews is that the Greek "theos" (theology etc) is unrelated despite the sinilarity, but the Greek "Zeus" is :)
- tomca32 3y agoOh yeah that’s a good one. Both Zeus and Jupiter are cognates of Dyus Pter (Sky Father) of old Indo European mythology. They just took different parts of that name.
