OLat. deicō againt δείκ-νυ-μι. Frisk Etyma Armen. 8ff., where also relation with θάρνυται as `speak' (δηλοῖ την διὰ λόγων ἔντευξιν H.) is considered. Here perhaps also θόρυβος and θρυλέω, θρῦλος; but this is hardly IE; Pok. 255 should be reconsidered, it contains much Greek that is non-IE [the Arm form is not mentioned here]. Cf. also θρῆνος.Page in Frisk: 1,681
