Etymology

edit

Unknown.

After the earliest resemblance it has been[1] implied of Urartian origin by being equated with Neo-Assyrian mentions of cities [script needed] (Tarwi, Tarui) and [script needed] (Tarmakisa, Tarwakisa) in the Sangibutu = Gilzanu = Baru = Bāri district occupied by Urartu,[2] which equation however has been reckoned far-fetched,[3] seemingly because this region is to the west of Lake Urmia, “though it must be stressed that the concept of a linear boundary wholly fails to express the complex patterns of relationships which existed between neighbouring regions and interspersed peoples,”[4] leading to the suggestion of Iranian origin since the area of Tabriz was territory of the Medes known by another homonymous Sangibuti, possibly equivalent to تو (taw, pool, puddle) + ریز (rēz, flow) as in إِبْرِيق (ʔibrīq) referring to the springs of mineral water that rise on the slopes of Mount Sahand;[3] however a place-forming suffix ـویج (-vīj) is known, attached to تر (tar, fresh, moist) in the Sarpol-e Zahab County village name ترویج (tarvij, literally watery place).[5]
