It has long been suggested that the Hittite verb da-ah-hi 'I take' is to be connected with the Indo-European root *dō- ' to give'. (See Friedrich, 1952, 201; Kronasser, 1966, 533-534; Kammenhuber, 1969, 235-236). The purpose of this paper is to support this suggestion but in a slightly different way than it has been supported in the past.
