Tocharian B
Etymology
From Proto-Tocharian *tēke, probably (though with some phonetic problems) from Proto-Indo-European *té-th₂g-eti, reduplicated present from the root *teh₂g- (“to touch, grasp, take”), whence also Gothic 𐍄𐌴𐌺𐌰𐌽 (tēkan), Old Norse taka (“to touch; to grasp, take”), Latin tetigī (“have touched”, act.perf. of tangō) and Ancient Greek τεταγών (tetagṓn, “having seized”, participle). Alternatively from a separate root *deh₁g- shared only with Germanic, or from the distinct root *tek- (“to take, obtain, receive”) (or contaminated therewith).
