Description:

The term 'tuh' deals with difference of any kind, and parallels the term 'hun' for comparing things as being the same.

Term (Noun):

As a noun, 'tuh' has an abstract meaning of 'difference' or 'differentiation'.

Term (Verb):

As a verb, 'tuh' is an intransitive pali verb that means 'differs' or 'be different'. There are a number of ways it can be used:

With two or more absolutive arguments connected by 'epis' or with a plural or paucal absolutive argument. 'Tuh' asserts the non-equality of its absolutive arguments. The focus is on the arguments equally. E.g.:

A cejátuin epis a cejítti se tuh.
The man and (his) younger brother are different.

Nar kawa pikki se tuh.
The two cats are different.

With any number of absolutive arguments in any number serving as the focus, and a paraphrastic argument introduced with 'erpa', in turn taking a nominative argument which is the comment or new information being introduced,it means the same thing as the former form but has a different rhetorical impact. E.g.:

A cejátuin se tuh erpa na cejítti.
The man is different than the (his) brother.

'Tuh' can also take an optional argument introduced with the null preposition that is the manner in which the compared arguments differ - the arguments compared can use any of the above structures. An adverb of manner can also be applied to tuh directly to clarify the manner in which the arguments are different. E,g,:

Nar kawa pikki se tuh na lun.
The two cats are different (of) the colour. (The two cats are different colours)
