Etymology
Abaev considered the word to be a "Caucasian" borrowing, comparing it to Georgian ტალი (ṭali, “flint”), Svan ტოლ (ṭol), Chechen тӏулг (tʼulg, “stone”), Ingush тӏолг (tʼolg).[1] Bielmeier and Cheung consider such connection to be phonologically difficult; following Bailey, Cheung notes a possible Iranian correspondence in Khotanese dūra (“hard; hard clod or stone”), comparing both words to Latin durus (“hard”).[2][3]
