Old Gizpuzkoan doe "gift," a loanword from a Romance language pointing to a pre-form *done
Traditionally, a gift in Indo-European society demanded a gift in reciprocation. To give a gift without expectation of reward was special.
"A further question now arises: is there no simple expression for “gift” which does not call for a return? ... [Yes, as] there exists an Indo-European root, that of Latin do, dōnum, Greek dō̂ron." ~ E. Benveniste, Indo-European Language and Society (1973) |
