Its so interesting. If you follow dōgaz one more step you get to Proto-Indi-European dheg: (to burn).

Origin of Latin “dies” is also from PIE but a different word: dyews: (sky, heaven).

Interesting Latin dies (day) and deus (deity) are very much related since both come from dyews.

My favorite trivia related to dyews is that the Greek "theos" (theology etc) is unrelated despite the sinilarity, but the Greek "Zeus" is :)

Oh yeah that’s a good one. Both Zeus and Jupiter are cognates of Dyus Pter (Sky Father) of old Indo European mythology. They just took different parts of that name.
