Proto-Altaic: *t`uĺi ( ~ -e)
Meaning: seed, eggs
Russian meaning: семя, яйца
Comments: A Turk.-Tung. isogloss. Mong. töl 'newborn animals' may reflect a merger of this root with a borrowing from Turk. *döl q. v.; but cf. perhaps tulbaɣa(n) (Khalkha tulbān) 'fry of the Siberian salmon', tulu 'Siberian salmon' - which can belong here if the meaning 'salmon fry' was original in Mongolian (with a later development > 'salmon' and consequent formation of the new derivative for 'salmon fry').
