Brian mentioned it was of unknown origin. Are there
any Celtic forms that could be construed as ancestral?
What are the other forms in other languages? e.g.
Germanic? I'm guessing that it's from the same root as

It's not supposed to have a clear origin.
It's structurally the same thing as *dheH1
Starting with *dhoH1
and supposing H1 "solidifies"
and becomes voiced,
*dhoH1 > *dhox > dug

NWB ?
