The Vedic Sanatana roots of the Mitanni Empire

 

The Sanskrit word tul तुल् is the foundation of a large number of words in different languages round the world. Below is given a comprehensive detail of such words:

Toll, Toolbar, Tolbooth tolbooth (Middle English tolbothe)—gate, - house, -keeper, etc.; toll, to take away; thole, to endure;

TALENT and  ATLAS; extol, whence extolment.—tolerable (whence, anlogous, tolerability), tolerance or tolerancy, tolerant, tolerate, toleration (whence, anlogous, tolerative), tolerator, intolerable, intolerance, intolerancy, intolerant

The word toll meaning to take away derives from Latin tollere, to raise, to remove, a toll or tax, Middle English tol, derives from Old English tol, toll, Old Frisian tolen, tolene, tolne, Old Slavic tolna, Old High German and Middle High Germna zol, Greek Zoll, Old Norse tollr: and all these Old Germanic words derive from Middle Latin tolōnēum, -īum, from Late Latin tolōnēum, -īum, from Greek tolōneion, a toll-house or customhouse, from telōnēs, a tax-collector, from telos, a tax, akin to tlēnai, to hold up, to support, to bear, past participle tlētos, Doric tlātos, both ‘enduring’ and ‘having to be endured’, whence, in part at least, the Old Latin tlātus, Latin lātus, past participle of the related Latin tollere and used as the past participle of ferre, to carry, to bear, to bring, precisely as tulī (Old Latin tatulī), Latin tollere and Greek tlēnai (Old Greek variation talássai, telássai), ultimately from the Sanskrit word tulayāti meaning he raises, he weighs.
