Etruscan Phrases Glossary
(continued)
by Mel Copeland
(from a work published in 1981)
This glossary of Etruscan words is selected from Indo-European Table 1 which is a map showing the relationships of the words found in the Etruscan vocabulary.
Because the Etruscan language is frozen in time (~500 B.C.), it is a good reference on the evolution of related Indo-European languages. Just as we now utilize maps of genetic movement through populations, so too can we map the flow of words through populations using a map similar to Table 1.
A major effort is now being exercised in mapping languages. Thus, Table 1 follows, and is a part of, that effort. There are many discoveries in Table 1 which are fascinating and bear further investigation. This glossary augments that work.
This section of the glossary contains words from the following pages of Indo-European Table 1. To ascertain cognates that relate to this glossary click on the appropriate page and scroll alphabetically via the Etruscan word.
