Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Indo-European *ter- (to cry out, yell) (though Smoczynski expresses slight doubt).[1] Cognate with Latvian târlât, Old Prussian tārin; outside of Baltic, cognate with Proto-Slavic *tortoriti (to jabber, babble), Hittite [script needed] (taranzi, they say), Old Armenian ընթեռնում (əntʻeṙnum, to read), and perhaps Old Irish tairm (noise).[2] The oft-compared Sanskrit तार (tārá, loud, shrill) and Ancient Greek τορός (torós, piercing, thrilling) are not related (assuming the Proto-Indo-European roots which the latter two stem from are themselves not related to *ter- (to yell) on a larger timescale).[3]
