You're right. I just got excited at the idea of a Turan connection
mentioned in post 9659. I just thought I'd try and run with it.
Superficially, it looks kind of nice, esp. with Tyrrhenian, but not
so much with Rasna or Trsh or what not. So, scrap that.

But I do think that Aphrodite's Cyprus birth story might be referring
to Turan as worshipped by Tyrrhenian speaking Eteo-Cypriot writers,
and that Troy's special relationship with Aphrodite might be to a
Tyrrhenian Turan. Maybe.
