Proto-Germanic
Etymology
Perhaps from *tamaz (“tame”) + *-janą. Kroonen suggests that the term might continue a Proto-Indo-European causative *domh₂-éye-ti, itself from the root *demh₂-. This same term may also be attested in Latin domō and Sanskrit दमयति (damayati).[1][2]
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈtɑm.jɑ.nɑ̃/
