tıt-
Meaning:
to tear to pieces, to pull apart into shreds
tıt- denotes forcibly pulling material apart into small pieces, strips or fibres. It is used of shredding meat or clothing, plucking hair or feathers, and teasing wool or cotton apart, so its semantic range is more specific than that of a general verb āto tearā.
It must be distinguished from the front-vocalic tit- āto renounce, give upā.
Erdal (2004) proposes a long vowel.
