    Material: Arm. top”el (-em, -eci) “hit”; Gk. δέφω “knead, drum; tumble “, argiv. δεφιδασταί “fuller”, with s-extension δέψω (Aor. participle δεψήσας) “knead; tan, convert hide into leather” (out of it Lat. depsō “to knead”), δέψα “tanned skin”; διφθέρα “leather” (*διψτέρα); Serb. dȅpîm, dȅpiti “bump, poke, hit”, Pol. deptać “tread”. maybe Alb. dëboj “drive away”

    Note: It seems that Root deph- : “to stamp, push” derived from Root dhü̆ bh-1, nasalized dhamb(h)- : “to astonish, be speechless”
