daube
German
Etymology 1
de ine-pro *deḱ-
From de gmh dūge (13th c.), from de la duga, la doga, from de grc δοχή. Cognate with nl duig. The form with -b- appears in the 15th century. It may have been influenced by de fro dove, from the same source. However, such influence is not certain. Intervocalic -b- and -g- are pronounced as fricatives or even approximants [β~ʋ], [ɣ~j] in many, chiefly Central German, dialects, which explains sporadic developments -g- → -b- after back rounded vowels.
