Second, I offer some semantic and morphological observations on tasku- on the basis of a close examination of the form in its philological context (KUB IX 4 i and 34 ii).
Third, I point out that this otherwise unetymologized word looks both phonologically and morphologically like the word (quite possibly a Wanderwort) for `badger' in Germanic (PGmc.
