second person is, thou dost. As an independent verb, dost is
obsolete or rare, except in poetry. ``What dost thou in this
world?'' --Milton. The form doeth is a verb unlimited, doth,
formerly so used, now being the auxiliary form. The second
pers, sing., imperfect tense, is didst (?), formerly didest
(?).] [AS. d?n; akin to D. doen, OS. duan, OHG. tuon, G.
