Forms: Also Middle English–1700s dawe, 1500s–1700s Scottish da.

Etymology: Known only from the 15th cent. (so the compound ca-daw , caddow n.¹): its form points to an Old English *dawe ( < daˈwā < daȝˈwā), in ablaut relation to Old High German tâha, Middle High German tâhe (Gothic type *dêhwô, Old Germanic *dæ̂hwâ < ˈdēhwā). Modern High German dialects have dähi, däche, dacha; Middle High German shows a diminutive form tâhele (Old High German *tâhala), modern German dahle, since 18th cent. dohle; whence medieval Latin tacula, Italian taccola.

1. A small bird of the crow kind ( Corvus monedula); now commonly called jackdaw n.

Forms: Old English dagian, Middle English daȝen, Middle English dawe(n, 1500s– daw.

Etymology: Old English dagian , corresponding to Middle Dutch daghen , Dutch and Low German dagen , Old High German tagên , German tagen , to become day, < West Germanic dag- day n. Since the Old English change of a to æ did not take place in the verb, the latter is daw, against the noun day: compare draw, dray, saw, say, etc. In northern dialect sometimes inflected dew, dawen, after the strong verbs blow, snow, etc. In 16th cent. Scots spelt dall by analogy with fall, fa', etc.
