It also participates in 3 confusable-pair relationships, "dämlicher", "dämlich", "dämliche", a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
No borrowing history is documented for this entry, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct German form is dämlichen, spelled D-Ä-M-L-I-C-H-E-N.
