Tru word signified ‘he who serves the food.’ Yet and  truht is not used in the sense of ‘food’; it signifies ‘that which can be carried’ (a derivative of ), and might thus mean also ‘the food, served up.’ On account of  and  truht, ‘crowd, troop,’ others with greater reason regard  truhsœȥe as ‘he who sits with the retainers (or at the head of the table), provides for their maintenance (hence dapifer) and assigns to them their places at table.’ The word is also found in  dialects;  , ‘district of a ’ (high bailiff;  drossâte);  drossaard, ‘high bailiff.’   ,, ‘truffle,’ only; corresponding to  truffel,  truffle,  truffe,  trufa. The  tartufo shows that the word is connected with, which see.   ,, ‘deception, illusion,’ only, allied to , older , which is derived from the   triegen,  triogan,  , corresponding to  bidriogan, ‘to cheat, deceive.’ To these are allied  draumo-, ‘phantom’ (see ), as well as  draugr, ‘ghost,’  gidrog,  getroc (g), ‘ghost’ ( also ). The root drū̆g (dwerg), ‘to deceive,’ contained in these words, is based on an Aryan root dhrū̆gh (dhwergh), ‘to overreach, injure’;   druh, ‘to injure (by deceit, craftiness, or enchantment),’  drauga, ‘lie,’ Zend draoga, ‘lying’ (druj, ‘ghost’).   ,, ‘trunk, chest,’ from truhe (*trucke is indicated by  ),  truha (truccha), , ‘chest, cupboard,’  þró (from þrū̆h), and  þrûk, ‘chest, drawer,’ seem to be allied in meaning although the sounds do not entirely correspond. In any case truncus, ‘trunk’ (of a tree) is not allied. If þrûh is not identical with   ( trucca), the latter may be connected with ;  ( ‘wooden vessel’) would then be Aryan drū̆k- (drukn-).   ,, ‘end, stomp, fragment,’ which is found besides only in the , ‘fragments, ruins,’ is based on  and  drum, , ‘end, piece, end-piece, splinter’;   þrǫmr, ‘brim, edge, verge,’   thrum, ‘end-piece.’  þramu- (þrumu-), from Aryan trmo-, has rightly been connected with  terminus,  τέρμα, ‘boundary, conclusion, end.’   ,, ‘trump,’ only, from the   triomphe ( trionfo), whence also  troef,  trump; properly identical therefore with  triumphus; hence  ‘triumphant, victorious card.’.   ,, ‘drink, draught,’ from the  and  trunc, allied to.  ,, ‘drunken, intoxicated,’ from the  trunken,  trunchan. An old without the prefix  (see ), and with an active sense too, ‘he who has drunk’ (  potus), then ‘he who has drunk immoderately’; similarly  dronken,  drunk, and  drugkans.  ,, ‘troop, band, gang,’ only, from  truppa. <section end="Trupp" /> <section begin="Truthahn" /> ,, ‘turkey-cock,’ only;  is probably an imitation of the cry of the bird. <section end="Truthahn" /> <section begin="Tuch" /> ,, ‘cloth, stuff; kerchief,’ from the  tuoch,  tuoh (hh),  and ;   dôk,  doek, ‘cloth.’ To these is also allied  dúkr, ‘cloth,’ whence  duck (canvas). On account of the signification ‘table-cloth,’  has been compared with  gadauka, ‘messmate.’ The early history of the West  dôko-, ‘cloth’ (from pre- dhâgo-), is obscure. <section end="Tuch" /> <section begin="tüchtig" /> ,, ‘fit, able, qualified, excellent,’ from  tühtic (g), ‘serviceable, brave, sturdy’; allied to   tuht, , ‘ability, fitness,’ an abstract of   ( also ). Corresponding to deugdelijk,  dyhtig,  doughty. <section end="tüchtig" /> <section begin="Tücke" /> ,, ‘trick, spite, malice,’ from tücke; properly  of older  ,  tuc(k), duc (ck), , ‘blow, push, rapid movement, sly trick, sleight of hand, craftiness.’ The word is wanting in  and the other  languages, hence its earlier form cannot be discovered. <section end="Tücke" /> <section begin="Tuff" /> ', ',, ‘tufa, tuff,’ from the  and  tufstein (tub-, tupf-stein); formed from  tufo ( tuf), based on  tôphus. <section end="Tuff" /> <section begin="Tugend" /> ,, ‘virtue, chastity,’ from tugent, tugende, , ‘manly excellence, power, good quality, virtue’;  tugund, , as a derivative of tugan (see ), signifies  ‘serviceableness, fitness.’  *dugunþus (derivative unþu-, from <section end="Tugend" />
