to:n (d-) ‘garment, clothing’. S.i.a.m.l.g., in most modern languages for ‘outer garment, overcoat’; in SW Az., Osm. don; Tkm. do:n. It has been usual for some years to describe this as a l.-w. fr. Saka tauna ‘clothing’, but it is unlikely that the Turks would have had no native word for ‘clothing’, and there are difficulties about the initial sound; the resemblance is therefore prob. due to coincidence.
