___________________________________________________________________________________________

di-do-si | διδωσι (didosi) | to bind or to fetter
PY Ma 365+
verb 3rd. sing.
“To bind or to fetter” may essentially mean “to become devoted, to be bound through an offering”; hence, a latter meaning “to offer”. See also o-u-di-do-si.
Cf. δίδυμος (didymos) “double, twin” in the sense that twins are bound. However, it is likely that Thomas Didymos was bound not to a twin but to Jesus through devotion.
See also syn. de-de-de-me-na and de-so-mo.
