See tortaobh in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ə d̪ˠuːɾˠˈt̪ˠiːvʲ/ [Munster] (note: corresponding to the phrase i dtortaoibh, as if spelled i dtúrtaoibh), /ˈɡɔɾˠt̪ˠiːwə lʲɛ/ [Ulster] (note: corresponding to the phrase i dtortaobh le, as if spelled i gcortaobha le) Forms: no-table-tags [table-tags], tortaobh [error-unrecognized-form], thortaobh [error-unrecognized-form], dtortaobh [error-unrecognized-form]
Etymology: Peadar Ó Conaill asserts in his unpublished Irish–English dictionary that tortaobh is an alteration of an original *cortaobh (literally “turn-side”), which matches the Ulster pronunciation. In the first edition (but not the second edition) of Dinneen’s dictionary, he states “some think bheith i dtortaoibh = bheith ag tabhairt taoibh”, referring to the phrase tabhair taobh le (“to rely on”), which is supported by the Munster pronunciation since tabhair is pronounced /t̪ˠuːɾʲ/ there. Head templates: {{head|ga|noun|g=f}} tortaobh f Inflection templates: {{ga-mut}}
