This very updated 2nd draft applies the fact that Dh="force, strength", as I figured out recently; "force" led to "wind; to blow; breath", so the root-meaning was not "to flow", instead ""force" led to "to run, to flow, to push, to blast" and from there to "water", "wind", "breath" (note that many of the breath words from *Dh- involve heavy breathing, panting and blowing, puffing: I cite some examples of that, but there are more that I didn't cite). There is no "water" nor "to flow" meaning involved with the root *dhew which meant "to strangle, smother, choke, kill, crush" instead that derives from "force>to crush, smother, strangle, choke>to kill, slay". Phrygian Daos "wolf" may derive from "to strangle, kill" or it may be cognate to Albanian Dak="big ram" and in any case, the different roots involved are kindred roots, which derive from Dh="force, strength" as explained in this paper. In this work I show how even PIE *dhwer, "door, opening, entrance" most certainly derives from "force". The name of the Daki/Daoi most likely derives from "strong, mighty" not from "stranglers, smotherers, slayers", but I explain using examples such as Ancient Greek Thuo that polysemy was inherent in these Dh- roots, so Daki/Daoi may have included both "strong, mighty" and "slayers", but "slayers" I'm pretty sure was secondary or tertiary. Illyrian Deuadai which meant "satyrs" proves much of what I said in the first draft, but the first draft had that error about "to flow" which I correct in this draft.

New etymologies for the Daco-Getic/Geto-Dacian terms Daci, Daoi, Daos, Davus, as well as for Phrygian daos, Latin Faunus, Ancient Greek thaunon, Illyrian Deuadai (="satyrs') and a number of PIE roots
