Comments: Slavic *děl- has Germanic counterparts reflecting *dʰoil- or *dʰail-. The aspirated stop precludes a connection with Gk. δαίομαι `distribute' < *deh₂-i- unless we assume that the Germanic forms are borrowings from Slavic, which is not particularly plausible. Note that the accentuation of *dě́lъ (b) would be in conflict with a reconstruction *deh₂i-l-.
