<strong>Hungarian</strong> tűrni “to roll up, to fold”<br />

Sumerian agar (135x: Ur III, Old Babylonian) wr. a-gar3; agar4; agar2; agar3; ada-ar<br />

Rhaet. ugāru, so we have here another possible Akk. <strong>and</strong> Rhaet.<br />

borrowing in Sum. <strong>and</strong> thus another proof that Sum. was still spoken<br />

in Old Babylonian time (cf. Lieberman 1977, p. 20). The Akk. <strong>and</strong><br />

Rhaet. word is also phonetically closer to the Hung. <strong>and</strong> may be the<br />

etymon for ugor “Ugric” > Germ. Ungar, Engl. <strong>Hungarian</strong>, French<br />

Hongrois, Russ. Vengerskiy, etc.<br />
