[asking] *tu̯ersā ?); on the phonetics Forbes Glotta 36, 246. Semant. without doubt better with Fick, Curtius a. o., also Pisani Ist. Lomb. 73: 2, 26 to εἴρω `order, connect', Lat. serō etc., in which case however (in spite of Pisani) σ- remains unexplained. Hitt. turii̯a- `harness, hitch to', by Duchesne-Guillemin Trans. Phil. Soc. 1946, 50, Risch by Mayrhofer Sprache 10, 197 and IF 70, 253 a.o. adduced, belongs acc. to Sommer Sprache 1,162 rather to Skt. dhur- `hitching' (reserved Kronasser Etymologie 1, 499).
