@cmniciosaig @alexlac51 They seem to be related — just variants on the spelling. When you daud (strike) something it causes a splatter. Something that's besplattered with mud, for example is "daudit" or "doddit." So a wee dod of jam is a splash or splatter.

@bodhipaksa @cmniciosaig @alexlac51 hmmm. I can confirm that my father‘s idea of a dod of cake was considerably more substantial than a splatter.
