Alex is referring here to the Latinized
name "Thocomerius" [Latinized by Hungarian
scribblers] either for Tugomir/Tihomir or
for some similar... Cuman name ending in
"-mir". (The name of a Cuman chieftain, the
alleged founder of the Romanian dynasty of
princes of Wallachia -> "Basarab" (the
Bessarab dynasty).
>russian sources the name is to find as
>"Toctomerie"
If these sources were right, then the name
above might have been related to the Turkic-
Tatar names Toktay and ToktamIsh/TohtamIsh
