    The -γ- in ταγή and τᾱγός show that τάσσω -ττω is analogical for *τάζω. In other languages it has been compared with the Parthian title tgmdr, which Bailey 1985: 98 takes to be tagma-dāra- ‘giver of order’, OP ham-ataxšata ‘they have put in order’, ToB tāś ‘commander’, and (less certain) Lith. patogùs ‘convenient’, sutógti ‘to be wedded; to commit oneself, etc.’. If the OP form lost its laryngeal as a result of Lubotsky's Law (loss of laryngeal between two or more consonants, of which the first is glottalized), we may reconstruct a root teh₂g- (instead of the awkward tag- suggested by LIV²).
