▪ For Fraenkel, the word is clearly of Aram origin (as direct source, at least); Klein says this is “probably” so.
▪ Rolland2014a: »Pour Rajki, le mot, qui a des cognats en Akk, en Hbr et en Aram, serait d’origine Sem, mais l’existence du Skr tuda permet d’en douter. Quant au Pers tūt ou tūṯ, il est de même difficile de savoir s’il est d’origine Skr ou Sem.«
