very interesting geroge. And from my point of view because of an another
word in romanian which does not present the
"ts" form. I speak about "tãrâm"= one another country in an another
dimension if I am allowed to say so. In fact, better I give the
description from DEX:
tãrâm= 1) country, region,
2) in stories= a far away underground region, in another
dimesnion , populated with mithological beeings
Etymologie: conform turk "terim" ( no ideea about meaning in turkish) or
from hungarian "terem"= big haal.
That is DEX.

talam=tãrâm what can I say more?
