tagad

There are two main theories about the origin of this word. Both derived the first syllable from Proto-Baltic *ta-, from Proto-Indo-European *to-, an old pronominal stem, whence also tas (“this”). The second syllable is, according to one theory, from the particle ga and an extra -d (< da). The same particle ga can be found in Lithuanian tàgatės (“thus, like that”) and Old Prussian anga (“or”), and in reduced form in 17th-century arīg (modern arī “too”) and as dz (< *dzi < parallel form *gi) in nedz). An alternative theory, however, derives the second syllable in tagad from gads, now “year” but previously also “time”: from an earlier accusative *tagadi (“this time”) would have come present-day tagad “now.” Cognates include Old Church Slavonic тогда (togda), тъгда (tŭgda), Russian тогда́ (togdá), Ukrainian тогді́ (tohdí), тогі́д (tohíd, “last year”), Bulgarian тога́ (togá), Czech tehdy, dialectal tehda (“then”).

tur

Traditionally, tur is derived from kur (“where”) by analogy with pairs like kas (“who, what”) : tas (“that”), kā (“how”) : tā (“thus, like that”). A more recent suggestion is that tur may come from Proto-Baltic *tur, from the zero grade *tr̥ of Proto-Indo-European *ter-, the source of several nouns, adverbs or prepositions meaning “through,” “across,” “away”: German durch (“through”) (compare Old High German duruh, from *tr̥-kʷe), Breton treu (“beyond”), dre (“through”) (*tre), Latin trāns (“over, across, beyond”). The meaning in Latvian would have been changed to “there” under the influence of kur.
