Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: intestine (thin)
Ket: tu:ĺi4 (Kur.), Bak., Sur. tu:ĺǝ4, South. tuĺ4; pl. tuĺaŋ
Yug: tu:hĺ, pl. tuĺiŋ5
Kottish: thutul, *thutūli, pl. thutūlaŋ "Darm", thalōx, thalōk 'belly'; Ass. tululáŋ (М., Сл., Кл.), tutula (Кл.) "intestines", tulók (М., Сл., Кл.) "belly"
Arin: šodoroŋ (?) (М., Сл., Кл.) "intestines"; (Лоск.) šintrun "intestine"
Comments: ССЕ 290-291. Kott. has a reduplication (Werner 2, 285 reconstructs <*thuʔǝlǝ> and gives a rather obscure comment: "ass., kott. thutu- villeicht < *thuʔu- ?"). Arin possibly reflects a compound with the first component PY *seŋ 'liver'.
