Etymology

1. From Middle High German duon, from Old High German duon, West Central German form of tuon, from Proto-West Germanic *dōn.
2. The phonetically regular Luxembourgish outcome is dunn; the form doen must be a backformation from the past participle by analogy with verbs like droen (“to carry”), schloen (“to hit”). Analogy with goen (“to go”) explains the past tense doung. By contrast, the present forms du dees, hien deet (continuing Middle High German -ei-) are very old; they are found in most dialects of Central Franconian, Limburgish and Low German (Middle Low German deist, deit).
