>Da.(Jysk) tumpe "idiot"

Incidentally (?) this "meets" Ger. stumpfsinnig and Rum. tâmp(it),
as well as Hung. tompa "blunt", at least in tompa eszü "thick-
headed" (verbatim "with a blunt mind", "dimwit").

>Est. tobe, -da "silly", tobu "boring person"

as in Hung. tompa?

>Est. toetama, -da "support" v., togi, toe "support" n.
>Est. tumm, -a "mute"

stumm!

>Est. tung-iv, -a "urgent"

Akin to Latin tunc "then"?!

>Torsten
