In summary

From late Middle High German touwen (“to thaw, dew”), a merger of two verbs: * touwen (“to dew”), from Old High German touwōn, from Proto-West Germanic *dauwēn, from Proto-Germanic *dawwāną. * douwen (“to thaw”), from Old High German douwen, from Proto-West Germanic *þauwjan, from Proto-Germanic *þawjaną. The merger started in Central German dialects, many of which had d- in both verbs. The original form of verb 2 survived into early Modern German as dauen, däuen, and continues to survive in verdauen (“to digest”).
