Danish[edit]

Pronunciation[edit]

  • IPA(key): [ˈtˢyɐ̯ˀ], [ˈtˢyˀɐ̯]

Etymology 1[edit]

From Old Danish thiur, from Old Norse þjórr (bull), from Proto-Germanic *þeuraz. The West Germanic languages have a form with s-: English steer, Dutch stier and German Stier. These Germanic words seem to be related to Latin taurus (bull) and Ancient Greek ταῦρος (taûros, bull), which may go back to Proto-Indo-European *(s)táwros (*(s)téh₂wros). However, the vocalism of the Germanic words is problematic. Furthermore, the similarity with Proto-Semitic *ṯawr- (bull, ox) suggests that the word is a wanderword.
