From earlier *tur- (>*tUr-) + a predecessor of *jIma"ti (c), *tur-
being a reflex of a root noun ('grasp, grip'), thus along Miguel's
lines? The formation type would be that of *bolgodari"ti 'thank' etc.
The reflexes of *tur(H)- are well known in Slavic (*tvori"ti
(b) 'make', *tvI``rdU (c) 'hard' -- with a strange violation of Hirt's
Law etc.).
