There is a Greek word called Tholos. Its meanings have always to do with 'something round'.
According to Beekes it is a pre-Greek word.

Meanings acc. to Wikionary:
θόλος • (thólos) f (genitive θόλου); second declension
- (architecture) A round building with conical roof, a rotunda
- A vaulted steam bath
- A bandage for the head invented by Diocles
*
Turkic tolu meaning full from tol- to get full.
And top in Turkic 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"
I have written about it already in an other context:
All these words (head, conical, etc.) have a meaning of something round.

A relation possible?
