deavev.

Brit. /diːv/, U.S. /div/, Scottish English /div/
Forms: In Middle English–1500s (1800s) deve, (Middle English dewe), 1500s Scottish deiv(e, 1800s deeve.
Etymology: Old English déafian in adéafian (f between vowels = v ) to wax deaf. The transitive type *díefan , *dýfan to make deaf, corresponding to Gothic (ga)daubjan , Old High German, Middle High German touben , töuben , German (be)täuben , does not appear in Old English, and the transitive seems to be an extension of the intransitive use in Middle English: compare dead v.
Now Scottish and northern dialect.
