75. dhar = hold (JS-62).

The DR. seed-word of this IE root is tor = to hold, keep, maintain (3480-Br).

76. dhel = suck, suckle, fruitful, happy (JS-68)

As we noted the other such instances above, in this case also the reconstructed IE root lacks an initial vowel as compared to its DR. seed-word. This IE root is fused with the DR. seed-words such as ud- = (child) takes breast, to drink (600-To); idu = to milk (504(a)-Te). Note that thely is a prefix in such terms as thelyblast, thelyotokous = producing females only; theelin = female harmone (JS-68). This is not surprising because in DR. talli denotes: mother, female of animals (3136-Kuwi); tali = female bird or animal (Kui); tali = females (prefixed to certain animal names (e.g. tali kodi = she buffalo) (Konda). Why this root is given the meanings fruitful and happy can be seen when we realize that in DR. dale – to become abundant as fruits, leaves, etc. (3119-Ka); and talai, which is listed in the same group 3119 denotes: to flourish, multiply, grow, prosper (as a family, people, state), grow luxuriantly, overflow with joy (Ta).

77. dhem = breath (JS-68).

The DR. seed-word of this IE root is in such words as timpuni = to breath heavily, snort, snivel (3276-Tu). The popular Kannada colloquial word dammu (conjectured to be a non- Dravidian word; but in view of the fact that we are witnessing the very root-words in IE are of Dravidian origin, it is clear that this word is also of Dravidian origin) should be noted here because it denotes: breath, increased respiration, panting gasping (KTK-774). Note that the derived Germanic forms denote: damp, dampness, dank (JS-68). Here note that in Kannada tampu = wetness (3045-Ka).

78. dhembh = bury (JS-68).

The DR. seed-word of this root is the Kannada tumbu = to befilled up [[as a ditch with soil]] (3331-Ka); to fill [[as with soil]] (Ka).

79. dh(e)r = muddied, obscure (JS-68-69).

Along with the word muddied (which makes the bottom of a lake or well obscure) it is correct that JS notes that dregs is one of the derived words of this root. Here, note that in DR. turvu = closing up as of a well with rubbish (3390-Ta); turvai = accumulation of rubbish in a well (Ta); tur = dregs, mud, rubbish at the bottom of a well (Ta).

80. dhers = of the gods (JS-69).

The word devaru is the word commonly used by the Kannada people to denote: god. It is, therefore, in order that the DR. word tiri denotes: clear, shining, bright, pure, holy (3419-Kui), and that the word de.r denotes: god (3459-Ko). The related word of de.r which is te.r denotes: possession of a diviner by a god (Ko), and teru denotes: idol-car (Ka). Note that the words theory, theorem are derived from Greek theorein which denotes: to view (JS-69). Here, note that in DR. tor = to show, exhibit, evince (3566-Ka). In the same group 3566 another word torisu denotes: to show (Ka).

81. dheubh = to tap, a plug, peg (JS-71).

The DR. seed-word of this IE root is dibbana = wooden stopple, cork (3231-Ka). Note the related word in the same group 3231 dimme = plug, stopple, wedge (Tu). In view of the fact that a plug can be a piece of wood, note another DR. word dabba = piece of wood (3076-Te). One of the other meanings of this root is rub smooth. Here, note that in DR. tepu = rubbing, polishing as a precious stone (3458-Te).

82. dhregh = turn, wheel, run (JS-71).

The DR. seed-words of this root are tiri = to turn round, turning, a turn (3246-Ka); tirugu = to turn, turning, a turn, whirl, roll, turn round (Ka). In the context of this IE root, Greek trachelotomy is noted by JS to denote that neck is a turner. Here, note that in DR. tirivu denotes: to turn as the head (3246-Ka). Wheel is one of the meanings of this root. Here, in the same group 3246 note another DR. seed-word tirgani = a wheel for raising water, turning, that which turns [[as a wheel]] (Ka); tirikai = a potter’s wheel (Ta).

83. dhreibh = drive (JS-71).
