Notes:

(1) Note the pattern here in Romia and Spinia, ending in "ia"; see also Elinai (Helen) in the Divine_Mirror.html or Phersipnei (Persephone).
(2) See Cato, Kato. Cato was a great philosopher who influenced Cicero (see Cicero, The Offices). There were two philosopher Catos, Cato the Younger (95 B.C.-46 B.C.), of Cicero's time, and Cato the Censor, Cato's great-grandfather. Cato in Latin means "shrewd," and "kati" in Sanskrit is the word for an ancient sage. With this in mind the Etruscan word, Cato, and its declensions, may either apply as a name of a gens or be the word for "sage."
(3) Sarina is a queen listed among other regents in Script K. In the Louvre Museum is a bronze bust of Queen Sarina. She was quite beautiful. On the forehead of the bust is inscribed her name, Sarina.
(4) See the "Battle of the Amazons" mural on a sarcophagus, Translation_Short_Scripts.html. This mural confirms the use of the word, roi, for "king."
(5) The name, Romni, appears on a cinerary urn with the image of a man on it, in two places.Click on the image to view this urn and another like it of a man, Caina, who seemed to have died from an assault like that of Romni's. I suspect that the urns were fabricated by the police force for those who die from muggings. Both urns have identical scenes. Both scenes appear to be in a place where prostitutes are found. Caina's urn seems to define the location of that place which was probably the wharf for the navy:
naflis = Lat. navalis-e, a place for ships).
