The [[ē]] : [[e]] go back on <b class="b2">*dheh₁s-</b>: <b class="b2">*dhh₁s-</b>; this explains also the Latin forms, e.g. [[fanum]] < <b class="b2">*fasnom</b> < <b class="b2">*dʰh₁s-nom</b>; thus Rix, Kratylos XIV (1969) [1972] 179f. - The etymology as <b class="b3">*θϜεσ-ός</b> with Lith. <b class="b2">dvasià</b> [[spirit]], MHG [[getwās]] [[ghost]] (s. on [[θεῖον]]) can be abandoned; there is no trace of the F in Greek and it is impossible in the Armenian word.

Wegen der vielen lexikalischen Berührungen zwischen Griechisch und Armenisch kommt die Verbindung mit arm. ''di''-''k''‘ pl. [[Götter]] (Bartholomae BB 17, 348) zunächst in Betracht; damit werden noch verknüpft lat. ''fēriae'' [[Feiertage]], ''fēstus'' [[festlich]], ''fānum'' [[Tempel]], s. W.-Hofmann s. vv., wo auch weitere Lit.; zu aind. ''dhíṣṇiya''- (Bed. unsicher) Mayrhofer Wb. s. ''Dhiṣáṇā''. Als Grundform wäre dann für arm. ''di''-''k''‘ idg. *''dhēs''-''es'' anzusetzen, woneben [[θεός]] aus *''dhĕs''-''ós''; vgl. noch [[θέσκελος]]; auch [[θεῖος]] aus *θέσι̯ος (Schwyzer 467)? Der quantitative Unterschied ''ē'' : ''ĕ'' bleibt noch zu erklären. — Dieser Etymologie steht eine andere entgegen, die [[θεός]] aus *θϝεσός mit lit. ''dvasià'' [[Geist]], mhd. ''getwās'' [[Gespenst]] (s. noch [[θεῖον]]) verbindet (de Saussure Mém. 81 A. 5); man hat dagegen eingewendet, daß das angebliche ϝ keine metrische Spur hinterlassen hat und daß sich die Griechen ihre Götter körperlich vorstellten. Der Vorschlag Pisanis (REIE 1; s. Acme 1, 272f.), auch arm. ''di''-''k''‘ aus idg. *''dhu̯es''- herzuleiten, ist lautlich kaum haltbar. — Noch anders Bechtel BB 30, 267ff.
