Ir. taitnem, lucina, light: *taith-tennim, to-aith-tenn, root ten of teine, fire (Windisch). Stokes (Bez.Beit.18, 112), divides taitnem into tait- and nem, Pictish namet, albus.

Sl. tesla, axe, Lat. gelum (= tex-lum), weapon, Gr. τέκτων, carpenter; but tek does not appear to have a side form tâk, and tâkslo- would produce táll (tôkslo, Foy). But cf. Lat. pâla, spade, for root, and for phonetics G. torc and Lat. porcus.
