Tocharian B
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Indo-European *h₂el- (“other”). Cognate with Latin alius.
Reconstruction
[edit]There are many varied Tocharian B words that have the common meaning of "other" and roughly similar form, all appearing to derive in some way from Proto-Indo-European *h₂el-, rather than simply being formations of terms in Tocharian B. This term specifically appears to be the root for alyiyatstse (“having otherness”), and was reconstructed from this term.
Noun
[edit]*āliya ?
