Origin: IE [Indo-European] [199] *demh₂- `tame'

Etymology: The present δάμνημι, Aeol. δάμνᾱμι agrees with OIr. damnaim `bind, tame (horses)' from *dm̥-n-eh₂-mi, from a disyllabic root *demh₂- seen in δαμά-σαι, where *δεμα- was reshaped to δαμα-, partly after -δαμο- \< *dmh₂-o ; zero grade *dm̥h₂- in δμη-θῆναι (Dor. δμᾱ-). Many representatives (note Hitt. damaš-zi `he forces, urges'). Note παν-δαμάτωρ = Lat. domitor, Skt. damitár-; they may be independent parallel formations. As second member in compounds ἱππό-]δαμος (Il.) = Skt. ariṃ-]dama- `conquering the enemy' (from *domh₂-o-?); (ἄ-)δμητος : Skt. dāntá- from *dm̥h₂-to- (independent Lat. domitus). - The old presents Lat. domāre = Skt. damāyáti and OHG zamōn, Goth. ga-tamjan, NHG zähmen = Skt. damáyati are not found in Greek. - Not to the old word for `house' (s. δόμος and δεσπότης).
