The primary meaning and further history of the - word tûsntî, tûsontî, can no longer be discovered; perhaps borrowed this word in prehistoric times from  (in  sahasra, Zend hazaṅhra,  χίλιοι for *χέσλιοι,  to gheslio-; in  mîlia,  to  μύρια). —  ,, ‘centaury,’ only, an erroneous version of the  centaurea (as if it were a compound of centum and aurum.

A more general meaning is exhibited by  deigan, ‘to form from clay,’ which is derived from Aryan dhī̆gh, and is connected with  dih, ‘to bedaub, cement, besmear.’ To these are also allied  figulus, ‘potter,’ fingere, ‘to form,’ figura, ‘shape,’  τεῖχος, τοῖχος (for θεῖχος, θοῖχος), ‘wall.’   , and, ‘part, share, portion,’ from the   and  teil,   and ; corresponding to  dails, daila, ,  dêl, ,  deel, ,  dœ̂l (dâl), and  deal (dole). dai-li (lo) seems to point to an Aryan root dhai (see ), which is proved by dělŭ, ‘part.’ —  ,, ‘to divide, share,’ from the   and  teilen ( dailjan), is a denominative, like  děliti, ‘to share.’ — ,, ‘partly,’ first used as an in. — The suffix  in, , &c., is based upon  teil (dritteil, vierteil, &c.; see also  from ).  ,, ‘plate, salver,’ from the  teller, teler (telier), ; the word was borrowed in the 14th  from  tagliere ( tailloir), ‘chopping board,’ which belongs, like  tagliare ( tailler), ‘to cut to pieces,’ to  taglia, ‘incision’;   détail.   ,, ‘temple,’ from the  tëmpel,  and ,  tëmpal, ; borrowed during the  period (with ecclesiastical words like , , &c.) from  templum.
