Words ain and dain

The separate words ain and dain are not among the most frequent: less than a hundred for ain and two hundred for dain.
I propose to read them in Greek as ειν and τειν:
- ειν = εν - in;
- ειν - ου - where;
- ειν a (rare?) form of ειναι - inf. of ειμι - to be ;
- τειν - dative of singular pronoun συ - you, thou.
I don't know if statistics alone, without full or partial translation, can confirm or refute this reading.
