It means thumb. Anyway, thumbs up for your great postings. In fact, your blog is a door to the things Tibetan or Tibetan studies.

No reason for apologies, especially since I'm no linguist myself, but I'm imagining that the Tibetan thu / thu-ba term, too, could be connected to some very old term for 'tail.' Look <a href="http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=tail" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453904366382251766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32671574.post-89692084672548940602014-06-20T16:53:20.229+03:002014-06-20T16:53:20.229+03:00Your mention of the Philippines and the folk tale ...Your mention of the Philippines and the folk tale of THE MONKEY & THE TURTLE, caught my eye,as I have sent considerable in the Philippines. This blog is very interesting and I cam upon it when searching on GURDJIEFF &ACHMED ABDULLAH and read your take on this. Enjoyed the humor and logic of it as well. As an old movie fan, I saw THE THIEF OF BAGDAD in an actual movie theater as a child and now own a copy of it in my collection*s). I belong to several sites on FACEBOOK that deal with the Fourth Way and so on. Anyway, keep up the good work and I hope to view other items of interest here when I have more time. I've added it to my list of blogs to follow on my own BlogSpot. Thanks for your postings. HALFORD E.

The word “thu” comes from the noun “thu ba”, e.g., “gos kyi thu ba”. The “gos” here must be understood to mean the Tibetan outfit called chupa. The overlapping front flaps of a chupa (the part below the belt) are called thu or “thu nang ma” and “thu phyi ma” (meaning the inner and outer flap).<br /><br />Now the terms:<br />thu sbas means that which is hidden under the thu, and thu ‘bur means something that protrudes from beneath the thu.<br /><br />In fact, what I have written above is purely speculation, and I have no linguistic background. I apologise, if it sounds too derogative to be an acceptable comment.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32671574.post-21271510171895137502014-06-13T19:34:32.841+03:002014-06-13T19:34:32.841+03:00I take it you mean Zhang-zhung.
