"da" meaning in Proto-Slavic

See da in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Conjunction

Etymology: Probably instrumental case of *do (“to, up to, until”), from Proto-Indo-European *doh₁ (“thus, like so”). Similar to Proto-Slavic *ta (“and so, thereby”) from Proto-Slavic *to (“so”). Cognate with Ancient Greek δή (dḗ, “even, indeed”), Proto-Germanic *tō, English too. Alternatively, from *déh₃ (“give!”), imperative of aorist verb *déh₃t. Etymology templates: {{der|sla-pro|ine-pro|*de|*doh₁|t=thus, like so}} Proto-Indo-European *doh₁ (“thus, like so”), {{cog|sla-pro|*ta||and so, thereby}} Proto-Slavic *ta (“and so, thereby”), {{cog|sla-pro|*to||so}} Proto-Slavic *to (“so”), {{cog|grc|δή||even, indeed}} Ancient Greek δή (dḗ, “even, indeed”), {{cog|gem-pro|*tō}} Proto-Germanic *tō, {{cog|en|too}} English too Head templates: {{head|sla-pro|conjunction|cat2=|head=|sort=}} *da
