     In the much-disputed passage, Hab. ii. 7, the commentator is tempted "in lieu of anything better," to think that Huzzab (so in received text and in the English Version) may be misvocalised for hazzab, "the litter, or palanquin," and that this is a term for the lady who is carried in a litter (for which an Arabic analogy is quoted).

   • 1991, Marcel Erdal, Old Turkic Word Formation, page 293:

     I take both tolum to come from to-l-, the first in a sense more closely connected with to- than the usual one; cf. tamuda tolu tikil- in Höllen 105, tulum, on the other hand, probably comes from tul- 'to strike (a ball)' in DLT fol. 275-6 (two of the four exs. misvocalised with fatha) : Cf. athg ani tulturdi "The horseman knocked into him" in DLT fol. 354.
