Alternative forms

Etymology

From Old Norse því, possibly from the instrumental interrogative Proto-Germanic *hwī (“how, with what”), with the initial h- replaced by the þ- from the forms of *sa. The modern Westrobothnian form with d- instead of t- (see tykken) probably evolved thus: við því → við ðví → modern ve ‿ dy/di "with that".

Pronoun

dy

  1. dative singular of he
