Hamp (Eric P.): Celtic *dām- and vṛddhi and δᾶμος.
In ZCP 36 (1978), pp. 5–12.
Derives OIr. dám from PIE *dom-u-s, arguing that the long vocalism has been transferred from the strong cases of a hypothetical CC root-noun from PIE *dom- and therefore excluding the possibility of vṛddhi derivation. Cf. E. Campanile, in BBCS 26/3 (1975), pp. 305-306.
