Etymology

[edit]

No etymology. The comparisons with Armenian թրիք (tʻrikʻ, dung, manure), if from *tiHr-, Proto-Germanic *þainaz (moist) and Russian тина (tina, scum, slime) remain speculative, since there is no evidence of a root *tiH- or *tH-i- in this meaning. The same holds for the connection with τῖφος (tîphos, pond, marsh). The verb τήκω (tḗkō, to melt) is not related, either.
