================
The Tocharian local case system is well-known to have Uralic parallels
which suggests Uralic influence.
I have already proposed that :
- hand < *kom-ti
- hunt < *kunda-
- hops probably comes from the unsuffixed root of *kumala < *kup-mala (a
Turcic word).
- hutt- looks likes a LW with connections with *xu?s- and *ku?-t-.
