# δῶρον

### Etymology

From Proto-Hellenic *dṓron, from Proto-Indo-European *déh₃rom (“gift”). Cognate with Mycenaean Greek 𐀈𐀨 (do-ra), Old Armenian տուր (tur), Old Church Slavonic даръ (darŭ), and Albanian dhunti.
* This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “The "hand's width" meaning is generally considered etymologically separate from the "gift" meaning, and is of uncertain origin.”
