çekim: çoğul tarut · tamlayan tarun
köken: tar- + -u, probably from the same root as dialectal tarista (“to talk, tell stories”), which is of onomatopoeic origin. Adapted to modern meanings by Finnish postmaster, author and translator Otto Tandefelt in 1836, probably with some inspiration from tarina.
köken: Name of a queen of Denmark (1185–1212), a Czech by descent, originally Dragomíra (cf. contemporary Czech Drahomíra), from Old Church Slavonic dorgъ "dear" + mirъ "peace", rendered in medieval Danish under the camouflage of dag "day" + már "maid".
