Etymology of þakolōn

The etymology of Old Dutch þakolōn (“to stroke”) is unexplained. Therefore I checked the etymology of the term using the DiaMaNT lexicon, a diachronic semantic lexicon of the Dutch laguage. However, the data base didn't return any result for the query. Now I would like to know where this so-called Old Dutch term comes from.

That was an error. It's Old Saxon, and spelt thakolōn. I've updated the entry. Leasnam (talk) 17:10, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
