"dy" meaning in Swedish

See dy in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈdyː/
Rhymes: -yː Etymology: From Old Norse dý, probably related to Proto-Germanic *dawwą (“moisture, dew”), the root of dagg (“dew”), dugg (“drizzle”), hence Faroese dýggj (“=dy”). SAOB, Rietz and others connects it with the root in Old Norse dyngja, Swedish dynga (“dung, muck, mud”), dunga (“to rain/shower”), dunka (“to wet/moist, to dunk under water”), dänka (ablaut), dungig, dunkig, dungen, dunken (“wet, moist”), dinkot (“wet (ground)”); see for example Proto-West Germanic *þunkōn (cf. Latin tingō). Compare dyblöt, dyvåt to dyngvåt, dyngblöt (“very wet”). Compare Danish dynd (“mud, mire, sludge”), dunges (“get drenched”), dynk (“to wet, moist”), Middle Low German dungen (“to water”).
