"tamu" meaning in Proto-Turkic

See tamu in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Borrowed from Sogdian 𐽂𐼺𐼴 (tmw), the accusative form of 𐽂𐼺 (tm, “hell”) ultimately from Proto-Indo-Iranian *támHas (“darkness”) from Proto-Indo-European *témHos (“darkness”) whence also Persian تَم (tam, “veil”). Some forms suggest inheritence from a form *tamug or *tamuk, according to Clauson, these forms reflect different borrowings from different Iranian languages. Compare also Sogdian 𐽂𐼺𐼷𐼸 (tmyk, “hellish”). Connection with *tam- (“to ignite”) is coincidental and based on folk etymology.

Compare also Sogdian 𐽂𐼺𐼷𐼸 (tmyk, “hellish”).\nConnection with *tam- (“to ignite”) is coincidental and based on folk etymology.",
