Etymology 2 edit

Perhaps from Proto-Athabaskan *tʼučʼ (to peel, to strip), with an irregular coda evolution (*-čʼ> -sh would be expected). See also -TʼOD (arrow sticks) for a similar issue.

Compare Ahtna idghiltʼuutsʼ (he peels it), Carrier əst’us (to strip), hanəzt’ûz (to be bald), with meanings identical to the ones found in Navajo.
