1/15/2009 Etruscan Glossary, from Etruscan_Phrases Table 1, showing Etruscan conjugation and declension patterns
Etruscan Phrases – Glossary
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. The most current version of this glossary is in excel format: Etruscan_GlossaryA.xls.
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.
What is shown in Table 1 is a map of three Indo-European linguistic strands: an Eastern (Blue), a Middle (Green), and a Western group (Red). The Slavic language group, which is in the main represented in Table 1 by Polish, appears in the "green" zone. Sanskrit, Avestan and Persian I placed in the "blue" zone. What is interesting about Table 1 is that some of the solid "green" and "red" zone languages have words that fall into the "blue," Sanskrit zone. German and Gaelic – including Old English – fall solidly into the (Green) zone, and French, Italian, Etruscan and Latin represent the strongest band in Table 1: the red zone.
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. Glossary is also in Excel format, download – sorted alphabeticaly by the Etruscan words (Etruscan_GlossaryA.xls) is the most complete version. See Etruscan Grammar for Etruscan declension and conjugation patterns, which is the working document used in translating the Etruscan scripts, together with Etruscan_GlossaryA.xls. This Glossary has been updated down to the yellow zone.
