Zeus-Ombrios-Raingiver-Rainbringer |
Ombrios - The Raingiver / The Rainbringer is one of many epithets (surnames) of Zeus.
Ombrios has to do with ombros meaning rain. This possible 'Pre-Greek' name has no convincing etymology.
And now my part: It could have a very great similarity to Proto Turkic root yag- meaning to rain, to pour.
Rain itself has the names like yağmur, yambur, yāmur, yamgur...
Similar?
Similar...
look at Proto Turkic RAIN
And look at the etymology of Ombros by wiktionary.
Nothing whole and nothing half.

About Ilisos we find this info by wikipedia:
"The Ilisos or Ilisus (Greek: Ιλισός, [iliˈsos]) is a river in Athens, Greece. Originally a tributary of the Kifisos, it has been rechanneled to the sea. It is now largely channeled underground, though as of June 2019 there are plans to unearth the river.[1] Together with the neighbouring river Kifisos, it drains a catchment area of 420 km2 (160 sq mi).[2]
ETYMOLOGY:
Its name is in all probability Pre-Greek: it features the ending -sós/-ssós/-ttós, which it shares with many other toponyms in Attica and other rivers in Greece, all of which are considered linguistic substratum survivals."
*
That means shortly:
If a word has the ending -sós/-ssós/-ttós in Greek
It is>Pre-Greek And it is >Not Greek There are a lot of water bodies (hydronym) (like rivers, seas, lakes) in Greece and Anatolia (and elsewhere) with these endings!Ilisos - A river in Athens without convincing etymology |

Il-Tutmush - Iltutmish |
A very unknown God of Rome who protected Rome against Hannibal.
His name was TUTANUS. There is not much info about it, he is almost forgotten.
There are not many phrases about him:
Under https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rediculus
we see this verse:
Noctu Hannibalis cum fugavi exercitum,
Tutanus hoc, Tutanus Romae nuncupor.
Hoc propter omnes, qui laborant, invocant.
When in the night great Hannibal I beat,
And forc'd his troops from Latium to retreat,
From my defense, Tutanus was my name:
By this the wretched my protection claim.[3]
By Varro
>Marcus Terentius Varro (Latin: [ˈmaːrkʊs tɛˈrɛntiʊs ˈu̯arroː]; 116–27 BC) was a Roman polymath and a prolific author. He is regarded as ancient Rome's greatest scholar, and was described by Petrarch as "the third great light of Rome" (after Vergil and Cicero).[1] He is sometimes called Varro Reatinus to distinguish him from his younger contemporary Varro Atacinus.
*
there is no real etymology for his name, I only read once under
http://www.philological.bham.ac.uk/forbes/notes.html :
Tutanus - Tutan - Tutamen - to defend, to protect |
*
I think there is a startling similarity between Latin Tutanus and Turkish root tut-, meaning to hold, to hide, to be the owner of... Turkish Tutan(us) would be "the one who protects".
There are many names in Turkish history with this root like Iltutmish (Il-tutmush), see pic at the beginning.
Or the 3rd Kaghan of the Uygur Turks Bogus Khan has the title
Tengrida Qut Bolmish El Tutmish Alp Külüg Bilge Qaghan
