old russian for ox

[richard tomback]

Dear Seelangers,
                                 Is the Old Russian  word   TYR ,translated
as bull,
related to the Aramaic  Tora < Proto Semitic  Thaura. If so, what is the
origin of this term , and at what point in time did Old Russian assimilate
the word?
                                                          Richard
