Notes:

(1) Aeneas, in the Aeneid, brought his household gods with him to Italy, to which he refers on a few occassions, indicating the move was permanent. In the Old Testament the same message is carried when Rebecca is sent off to marry her new husband, bringing her household gods with her. In Jericho in particular we have the example of burying ancestors beneath the floor of the house and their worship. Their skulls were plastered and given eyes. In the Divine_Mirror.html we can see a household goddess beneath the floor of the house of Helen of Troy. This kind of portrayal of a houshold god beneath the floor of a scene is found on other Etruscan mirrors. That the Scottish word for a ground floor or site of a building, lar, coincides with the Roman word for their tutelary dieties is interesting. In the "Battle of the Amazons" mural, Translation_Short_Scripts.html, we have the word, lar, used as the word, god, in the context of "Atys, born of the god royal." Preceeding that phrase is "I have / carry / am of Tirai (Tyrsenus, son of king Atys), the king the cause of Atys.."
(2) The character K is, which is rare in the Etruscan scripts.
(3) The word, LVRI, appears on the left-hand side of a bronze statue of a haruspex in the Vatican museum. It is Script HA in the Translation_Short_Scripts.html. The script appears to read, EN LVRI FETVRE FITVS, "Behold! he expiated the sins of the true offspring."
