Proto-Indo-Europääsch

*tewtéh₂ (femininum)

Reconstruction

Clear cognates are found only in Italo-Celtic, Baltic and Germanic, which points to an old European substratum word,[1] geographically confined to the west and center of IE world.

Persian توده (toda, masses; heap; stack, hill, rick, tumulus) is sometimes listed as a cognate but a large semantic divergence remains unexplainable.[2]

The supposed Hittite cognate 𒌅𒍖𒍣𒅖 (tuzziš, army; camp) with the semantic shift "people" > "army" > "camp" has been criticized to be unlikely (the normal development would be "camp" > "army").[3] Kloekhorst furthermore argues that Hittite word can formally only reflect an i-stem tewt-i-, and finally endorses an alternative etymology proposed by Melchert, from PIE *dʰh₁-uti-.

Often a derivation from the roots *tewh₂- (to be strong; swell)[4] (referring to the strength of community) and *tewH- (to look favorably; protect; observe)[5] is considered, but the presence of a laryngeal renders that suspect.[6]
