DÁNTE: shape, appearance, likeness, image
gedaante - Dutch
getání - Old High German
getaene - Middle High German
dénthe - Old Frisian
Etymologists suggest this word was derived from the verb 'do'. This could be true, but in OL the present root of this verb is DVA, past DÉ-, while varieties with DÁ- do not occur.

ReplyDeleteWhen looking at possible explanation of the word 'ge-daante' as noun for the past participle one comes idd pretty clear to the infinitive 'doen'.(ghe) doen-te. In the meaning of 'zich voor-doen als'.
Past participle: zich voorgedaan (als). Loosely translated: 'presented itself as'.
On a roll: when taking the word 'present', it is also a 'kado', a gift.
And as BW Hietbrink pointed out so artistically: kado could be very well be coming from 'ikke doe' (to you), i present to you.
What I was looking into was the word 'Buda', maybe you touched this word also.
If i'm not mistaking, 'buidel' is understandably taken as assumed origin for the word Buda by the translaters (because of the writers later description 'treasure' of knowledge and love he carries with him).
But what if that 'Buda' name could be coming from the word 'bode' (messenger of all his knowledge and love)? And the writers (or copyists or translaters?) themselves overlooked this because of the direct etymological link of bode (aan-bieder) and buidel (purse), that both come from bieden (boedel, what you have to offer or to grab, nowadays booty mostly in negative sense of acquisition).
To be short: can Buda be the word of 'bode' (messenger) instead of 'buidel'?
Hence taking into account a possible but understandable mis-interpretation by the writers-copyists-translaters?
I see the word 'Bodon' (plurial of bode) being used in OLB few times.
Maybe they didn't realised themselves anymore that Buda could be the Indian name for Bode, as they still used 'Bodon' or 'Boden' for messengers of worthy content.
It could be, but BUDA/BÛDA is used several times for bag:
