​ Döbel, m., ‘peg, wedge,’ from MidHG. tübel. m., ‘pin, plug, nail’; OHG. tubilî, n., ‘plug’ Comp. E. dowel, Du. deuvik, ‘plug.’ The Teut. root dub, upon which it is based, appears in Swed. dubba; so, too, perbups in Lith. dùbti, ‘to get hollow,’ daubà, důbě, ‘pit.’ The d of the ModHG. word is due to MidG. influence.
