{{also|díj|dij-}}
==Dutch==

===Pronunciation===
* {{IPA|nl|/dɛi̯/}}
* {{audio|nl|Nl-dij.ogg}}
* {{hyphenation|nl|dij}}
* {{rhymes|nl|ɛi̯|s=1}}

===Etymology 1===
{{dercat|nl|gem-pro|ine-pro|inh=1}}
From {{inh|nl|dum|die}}, from {{inh|nl|odt|*thio}}, from {{inh|nl|gmw-pro|*þeuh}}, from {{inh|nl|gem-pro|*þeuhą}}. Compare {{cog|fy|tsjea}}, {{cog|en|thigh}}, {{cog|is|þjó}}.

The expected modern form would be {{m|nl||*die}}. The diphthongised form may have originated in the plural, where {{m+|dum||dien}} could easily become {{m|dum||dîen}}. Note the variant {{m|nl||knijen}} for {{m|nl|knieën}} in Early Modern Dutch. In the case of {{m|nl||dij}}, the diphthong was likely reinforced by desire to avoid homophony with {{m|nl|die|pos=pronoun}}. <!-- WNT seems to suggest influence by the verb "dijen", but that seems pretty far-fetched -->
