Comments: Also means: 'a city with outer cities: an administrative center, residence' > 'capital'. Used also for homonymous words: *tā '(perhaps:) be elegant', *tā 'oh' (interj.). The meaning "all,complete, together" appears in texts since the Three Kingdoms and is probably etymologically a variation of *ta 'many, all' q.v.
