Etymology

From Middle High German der, from Old High German der, ther. Cognate with German der, Dutch die, English the, Swedish den. Doublet of dèar (demonstrative pronoun).

   1. nominative singular masculine

      Dar mann is stérchor dan 's baip. ― The man is stronger than the woman.

      Dar tòibel hat borlóart in sbantz. ― The devil lost his tail.

   2. dative singular feminine
