Lat. : dens, dentis
Sanskrit: dan, acc. dantam
Greek : odontes
Ahd : zand

Tomacheck sees the same form in the thracians words:
Denton (C.I. XI 82: T. Mucius Dento nat. Bessus; compare Danthon
Illyrius, Val. Max. 8,13,7, Dendon in Plinius 7,49)
Dentu- in composed names
For "denton" Tomascheck asks himself if this can be transalted as "big
tooth"
