Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Probably from Proto-Indo-European *dʰewH- (“to gush, to shake, to blow”), cognate with Sanskrit धूयते (dhūyate, “to shake, to tremble”) and Ancient Greek θῡ́ω (thū́ō, “to rush in, to storm”). Within Balto-Slavic, akin to Lithuanian dujà (“dizzle, mist”).
Formally, the lemma also bears resemblance with the onomatopoeic Proto-Slavic *duda (“duda (type of bagpipe)”), *dudati (“to play a duda”), *dudněti (“to buzz, to make noise”).
The conjugation pattern is probably normal thematic inflection. On the surface, it looks as *je-inflection, however, the -j- is likely resultant from a compensatory hiatus.
