Tilioq    Tilioĸ
 (present) friend, buddy. Tilioq has a Southern Greenlandic variant 'Tiliaq'. The older verbal form 'tilivaa' means 'sends him on an errand' and 'sends him a message through another person'. The basic meaning of the name must thus derive from 'someone entrusted with something'.

Another personal name with the same etymology is Arpaarti, 'the messenger', from arpappoq 'runs' (arpaartoq: runs from house to house to give a message)'
