The Indo-European “root” and the
Greek tauro or távros, ταύρος , bull, is the given source of Latin taurus
(bull). Once again our reference books are giving you a lot of bull, a very recent and limited etymology that fits their quaint Euro-centric agenda.
Aramaic
תור TOAR
(bull) shows a typical Aramaic T-from-Edenic ש / SH shift, as the Edenic bull
is a שור SHOAR (Deuteronomy 33:17).
As usual, the post-Babel-babble of the Edenic original has ruined the
exquisite meaning of the earlier, Pre-Hebrew Edenic. שור SHOAR, not תור TOAR, is
the uniquely designed animal that instinctively knows how to plow a field in a
straight , ישר YaSHahR, line or row,
שורה SHOORaH . BOUSTROPHEDON, from Greek, means “as the ox
plows.” It is used for alternating right-to-left, then left-to-right writing
when reaching a new line.
Akkadian
oxen/bulls stayed as shūru , as in some dialects
Arabic shaur is intact. But the
Aramaic shift kicked in early and often. The Arabic bull, ox, steer or bovine
became ثور thur. Ugaritic tr is this same ox, bull or
steer. The Hittite and Sumerian ox is taru. The Phoenician thor is the divine steer.
Beyond the Near East, the Armenian bull is a ts’ul; Azerbaijani: törədici; the Old Slavic turū is a bull, and tawras is an aurochs (European
bison) in Lithuanian.
Several Dravidian (southern
India) words for bull, oxen or buffalo are clear echoes of the Aramaic תור TOAR: dhori, dhorya (Punjabi), dhur (Santali), turyavah (Vedic), thoro (Kumauni) and saraka (Sinhalese – most like the
Biblical שור SHOAR. [Fernando Aedo]
More
languages lead by the שור SHOAR or Aramaic TOAR for "bull" include:

The AUROCHS (European bison) is the alleged ancestor of domestic
cattle.
It has the “genes” of a reversed שור SHOAR.
The BULL is a cow’s בעל Ba’[A]hL (master and husband). See
“BULLY.” HEIFER is closer, but BULL also has the bilabial and liquid of פר PahR, bull (Numbers 23:2)
and פרה PaRaH, young cow, heifer (Numbers 19:2).
פר PahR, bull, shifts to bilabial-liquid in SLAVIC: [BULL]
