"dīkaz" meaning in Proto-Germanic

See dīkaz in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈdiː.kɑz/
Etymology: Uncertain. Two Indo-European etymologies are plausible: * From Proto-Indo-European *dʰeygʷ- (“to stick, stab, dig”). Cognate with Latin fīgō (“pierce, pin, fasten, fix”), Lithuanian díegti (“to plant, implant, ingraft, prickle, stab”). * From pre-Germanic *dīkkô ~ *dīkkaz with regular reduction, via Kluge's law from a Proto-Indo-European n-stem *dʰeyǵʰ-n-, gen. *dʰeyǵʰ-nó-, from *dʰeyǵʰ- (“to form”). Importantly, the former assumes an original meaning *“something dug out; ditch”, while the latter assumes *“something constructed”.
