Tocharian B yerkwantala*. In : Studies in General and Historical Linguistics offered to Jón Axel Harđarson on the Occasion of his 65th Birthday, edited by Matteo Tarsi
Original language description
The purpose of the present article is to offer a new etymological solution to the Tocharian B animal name known in nom.pl yerkwantalañ, designating some (feline?) predator. It is interpreted as the compound consisting of *yerkwaN, analyzed as the determined form of the hypothetical u-stem *yerk(w), and *tāla, the deverbal adjective from the verb täl- ‘to carry’, together perhaps ‘that one, carrying away rams or he-goats’. The meaning of the prey as ‘ram’ or ‘he-goat’ is tentatively determined with regard to Shughni yirk ‘(breeding) ram’, isolated within Iranian, which looks as the Tocharian borrowing.
