ETYMOLOGY

[Perhaps דעמב/דאָמב are the older forms, from Polish, competing with a newer East Slavic form דוב.]
{Geller and Gajek, 2023: 55}
Polish dąb; cf, Belarusian дуб, Ukrainian дуб; Russian дуб; from Proto-Slavic ✱dǫbъ; from PIE ✱dʰónu, perhaps from the root ✱dem- 'to build', which also lies at the root of צימער, English timber.
