Cognate to Albanian tashti (now). A combination of t- +‎ ash (resp. t- +‎ ashi; t- +‎ ashti; t- +‎ esh).[1] Second element (-ash; -ashi; -ashti) of dubious origins.[2] According to Orel, from Proto-Albanian *to-su (a locative form of the pronominal stem Proto-Albanian *to),[3] derived from Proto-Indo-European *to- (it), related to Lithuanian tadà (then, thereupon) and Sanskrit तदा (ta-dā́, then).
