That doesn't seem to be very clear. Schmalstieg in Ramat &
Ramat says that the root *do:- "give" occurs as da:t,
da:twei in the 3rd Catechism, but the same texts also shows
no "on" ~ Lith. nuõ "from" < *no:.

The dat.sg. *-o:i gives -u, but that's iregular in Lith.
(-ui) and Slavic (-u) as well.

The 1st. sg. thematic seems to be -a (-a:?), but I'm not
sure about that ("I am"/"we are" is <asmai>).
