Commentary
OIr. di(-), de, MW, OBret. di(-), s. Matasović 2009 97, Wodtko 2013: 225 f. with possible lexical Gaulish attestations, Dunkel 2014: 150, AcS I: 1277, KGP: 192, DLG: 143, Delamarre 2007: 219 et passim. For PIE, Dunkel reconstructs *deh₁ (cf. Zair 2012: 221 [alternatively laryngealless *dē; differently Matasović: *h₂d-eh₁). The preverb appears sporadically in personal names, the best evidence being names in dī-u̯ik- 'avenge' (OIr. do-fich, e.g. diuiciacus, diuico [Caesar], RIG L-130 diuixta, s. AcS I: 1289 f., KGP: 194 f., GPN: 81–83, DLG: 145 f., Delamarre 2007: 220 et passim, Stüber 2005: 95, Stüber et al. 2009: 269), dī-assu- (AcS I: 1280 f., KGP: 193, DLG: 144, Meid 2005: 105, Delamarre 2007: 219 et passim), dī-āco- (AcS I: 1278 f., DLG: 144).
