Polish te,cza is the same etymon as Russian
tuc^a 'cloud', whatever the original meaning. "Duga" means 'arc', 'stave' (of a
barrel), or a semicircular wooden element connecting the horse's collar
with the shafts of the cart in a Russian-type harness (of Finnish origin,
AFAIK, but the word has no Finnish connections). I'll check these words yet. Meanwhile, enjoy
this:
