According to Pokorny, we have root te:u-, t&u-, teu_&-, tu_o:-, tu:>-
"to swell; crowd, folk; fat; strong; boil, abscess"
and 9. t-Ableitung teuta: `(Menge) Volk, Land'; teutono-s
`Landesherr': Illyr. PN , Teutana, Teuticus, ; messap. PN t|eotoria,
Gen. t|eotorras; thrak. PN Tauto-medes; osk. , touto, umbr. Akk.
totam `civitas'; gall. GN Teutates (*teuto-tatis `Landesvater' zu
tata, oben S. 1056), ju"nger Toutates, To:tates, Tu:tates, PN
Teutio:, Toutius, Tu:tius, Toutonos;
air. tu:ath `Volk, Stamm, Land', cymr. tu:d `Land', corn. tus, mbret.
tut, nbret. tud `die Leute';
got. iuda, ahd. diot(a) `Volk', as. thiod(a), ags. e/od, aisl. jo:
`Volk, Leute', wovon ahd. diutisc, nhd. deutsch (urspru"nglich `zum

lett. ta\uta `Volk', apr. tauto `Land', lit. Tauta\ `Oberland,

What I like to stress here is the fact that also another PIE root
*leudh- has similar meaning "to grow up, people, free". From this
root we have Alb. <lenj> 'to be born'<*leudh-n- and <polem> 'people'
< *leudh-m-.
If we compare Lat. nascor 'to be born' we may see that from the same
root was derived also <natio> 'people' and Slavic <roditi> 'to beget'
and <narod> 'people'.
I guess that Alb. verb <shtonj> 'to grow up'< sh-*te:u-enyo,
<shtim> 'natality', <e shtunë> (?)'saturday', dështoj 'to abort' are
all chances to be a nucleus of the name <teuta> 'people', besides
others derivatives of this root <tul> 'flash', <tulak> 'muscle", etc.
I really like to know what other members think about this.
