Pre-Greek Lexicon - Robert Beekes

 I've just begun to read Pre-Greek lexicon by famous R. Beekes

Already in intro I've seen the Pre-Greek (non-Indo European) word τολύπη (tolupe) meaning simply "the ball" (of anything, of wool, of cake), globular (see link below). * https://lsj.gr/wiki/τολύπη * read further++

Now look at the Turkish word TOP. Top means simply the ball. The older versions are tolp, ***tolup***< derived from verb tol- (to get full) and -up is a very old Turkish suffix/pic2 Pic3=Ball of wool> Turkish "bir top yumak"

Acc. to Beekes there is a clear relation to Anatolian langs like Luwian and Hittite taluppa/i. I find the Greek word is even more interesting, because it goes with the Turkish vowel harmony>when 1st syllable with o, then the 2nd must be with u (or a)> like in the word "omuz" +++

At the end my tweets I can guess that the Turkish word top<tolp<tolup -meaning ball or a globular thing- have all features and capacity to have a relation to the Pre-Greek, non-into-European word τολύπη meaning a round thing (German Bällchen).
