tornis

Etymology
Borrowed from or  or an East Frisian word (compare 🇨🇬; also compare 🇨🇬), itself a borrowing, via 🇨🇬, from 🇨🇬 (accusative ). A dialectal German form Turn, borrowed as turnis, would in the Kurzeme dialects yield tornis (with [uo]). This word is first mentioned in 17th-century dictionaries.
