Proto-Eskimo: *talu (*talu-i-)
Meaning: to hide oneself, covering, shelter, door, shadow
Russian meaning: прятаться, укрытие, тень
Comments: Cf. PKCh *tъlvъ 'door', PCh *tъllъ, *tъtlъ. It is possible that there has been a merger of two roots: 'shelter, door' + 'to hide, to get out of sight' > 'shadow'. Comparative Eskimo Dictionary: 327
