Etymology

[edit]

Of unknown origin. Possibly belonging to the alleged Nuragic substrate. According to Pittau (2013), it should be compared to Latin tullius (jet of water), Spanish chorro (flow) and Basque txurru (falling water, onomatopoeic).[1] To these, one could also add Etruscan 𐌕𐌖𐌋 (tul, heavy rain).
