Tor

I havent seen any etymologist deny those links so far. Consider that thunder in Spanish is TORmenta which is also the same way as tormento or 'torment'. The fact that the bull (or toro) was a fetishist religious symbol which represented the Sun and the dying God of vegetation for the Keltiberians also links him with the indoeuropean Thor. And the king, ritual or factual, had his own 'throne'. The number of Tor- placenames is also large and it belongs to the list of IE prefixes.
