Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *til- or *tilˀ-. Cognate with Latvian til̂t (“to become soft or retted”) (West Latvian dialect, where the broken and falling tones merge). Possibly cognate with *utoliti (“to quench, to relieve”) and/or Lithuanian tylė́ti (“to soothe, to be silent”), tìlti (“to be silent”). Vasmer suggests a possible additional connection with Ancient Greek τέλμα (télma, “marsh, puddle”), τελμίς (telmís, “rot, slime”) (gen. τελμῖνος (telmînos)), Old Armenian տիղմ (tiłm, “mud”). Chernykh adds Old Irish tulid, tuilid (“to sleep”).
