Etymology 3
From nds gml dēle, from nds osx *thela, *dela (or the like). Possibly related with etymology 2 above, though this is a debated question. At any rate both words were distinct in osx -, because Westphalian and Eastphalian dialects clearly show distinct root vowels (osx i for “floorboard” vs. osx e for “threshing floor”; the northern dialects regularly merge these and are therefore inconclusive).

f Delen nds some northern dialects including _ Hamburgisch
