δόγια

Alternative forms

Etymology

Ultimately from Alanic, compare: Ossetian дугъ (duǧ), догъ (doǧ, “horse race [in honour of the dead]; running”), дугъон (duǧon, “steed”), дугъуат (duǧwat, “hippodrome, racetrack”). Georgian დოღი (doɣi, “horse race”), Svan ა-დღ-ულ-ი̄ნ-ე (a-dɣ-ul-īn-e, “to gallop”) are borrowed from the same source.
