Hungarian
Etymology
Borrowing from a Oghur language, before the times of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin (at the turn of the 9th and 10th centuries)[1], from Proto-Turkic *daŕ (“bald”). Cognates include Turkish dazlak (“bald”), Karakhanid تازْ (tāz, “bald”), and Middle Mongolian [script needed] (tarasun, “bald”), the latter perhaps a Turkic borrowing too.

Forms based on the stem tig- (e.g. tigim and tig/tigeann) are found in Ulster and parts of Munster; forms based on the stem teag- (e.g. teagaim and teagann) are found in parts of Connacht.
The present analytic tig is particularly common in tar le (“be able”).
