Etymology

Borrowing from an Iranian language, compare Ossetian дӕйын (dæjyn, “to suck”), Middle Persian [script needed] (dāyag, “nurse”), Persian دایه‎ (dâye, “nurse”), Kurdish da (“mother”), Sanskrit धयति (dhayati, “to suck, drink”). Cognate also with old southern Mansi -тай (in сыртай (“milk”)), both possibly via Proto-Ugric *täjɜ.[1] The earlier nominative was té, lost in favor of the oblique stem.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): [ˈtɛj]

Noun

tej (plural tejek)

1. milk
