Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/dōną

Etymology
From two related verbs: Both originate from the root.
 * Present tense from the perfective, although the o-grade form *dʰóh₁t is unexpected.
 * Past tense from the past of the reduplicated imperfective.

Verb

 * 1) to do, make
 * 2) to put, place

Inflection
In all Germanic languages but the ancient ones, the first person singular form *dōmi is replaced by *dō by analogy with class II weak verbs. Past forms in *-ie- in Anglo-Frisian are unexplained.
