Lithuanian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Indo-European *tlh₂-tó-m (“lifted up”), from *telh₂- (“to bear, tolerate”). Derksen connects Sanskrit तीर्थ (tīrtha, “passage, ford”) as an exact cognate;[1] however, the Sanskrit term is generally thought to derive from *terh₂- (“to cross, pass through”) instead.[2]
An obsolete theory from Pokorny derived the word from Proto-Indo-European *stel- (“to spread, to spread out”).[3]
Cognate with Latvian tilts (“bridge”).
