Notes:

1) The Divination_Lesson.html says, "to Feltune [the great [god] of thunder] they fortell the way of life of Tarquin, i.e., Tarkonos (Tarkvnvs) RAR LaR (rare or unique of the god )." The subscript above the head of the augur says, "He fears (pava) the Tarquins (Tarkie). Thus, Script DL-1, ocern, they fortell; See also Script N, "okri per visio," he prophesied by the vision / the appearance.
(2) Omai (VMAI) is the last word, S30, in the Lemnos script and appears, because of the suffix, ai, to be a place name. If the word means either "to moisten" or "to bury, perform funeral rites," then it may be that "moisten" and "bury" are the same anyway, in the Etruscan context, since an important part of the burial ceremony was the pouring of a libation (probably wine) on the funeral pile or corpse.
3) See Uni_Suckling_Heracles.html, the Volterra mirror which shows Hercules being suckled by the Etruscan goddess of childbirth, Uni, Script AH. In Greek mythology Hera, the wife of Zeus and the goddess of fertility was jealous of Zeus' various liaisons with other goddesses, including Alcmene, the mother of Hercules. She is a central, jealous figure in Homer's Illiad. She even persecuted her son by Zeus, Dionysus, and brought madness or death to many who aided him. Since the Volterra mirror is remembering a story from about 600 B.C. or earlier, we may give more thought to the old myth on Hera and Hercules, which is shown in this mirror. Hera, being upset over Zeus' liaison with Alcmene, attempted to destroy Hercules, but Zeus in the end tricked Hera into suckling Hercules whilst she was sleeping. In the Volterra mirror she is clearly awake. During the event she accidentally spilled her milk, and that is how we happen to have the Milky Way in our sky!

Alcmene, daughter of Electryon, king of Tiryns and Mycennae, was betrothed to her cousin Amphitryon. But she refused to lie with him until he avenged the murder of her brothers by Taphians during a cattle raid. This story is strangely Celtic: the marriage of cousins and cattle raids. In any event Amphitryon recovered the cattle for his father-in-law but accidentally killed him while delivering the cattle to him. He was exciled for this deed by Electryon's brother Stheneleus who usurped the kingdom. Alcmene and her husband, and her half-brother, Licymnius, fled to Thebes where King Creon gave them sanctuary. Creon helped Amphitryon raise an military expedition against the Taphians, and when Amphitryon returned he found his wife pregnant. the seer Teiresias explained that Zeus paid a visit while he was out of town. Alcmene was pregnant with twins, however, and at the same time Zeus announced that a son of his lineage was about to be born and was fated to become lord of his people. Hera believed, therefore, that Hercules, the child that would be born, would become heir of Tiryns, but knowing that there were twins involved, tricked her husband, Zeus, into announcing that whatever descendant would be born that day would succeed to the rule of Tiryns. Once she got that decree from Zeus, she caused the premature birth of Eurystheus, another claimant to the throne. In the mean time Hera decided to kill Alcmene and her child by preventing the birth and sent her daughter, by Zeus, the goddess of childbirth, Eileithyia to sit before the bedroom door, with legs and fingers crossed, to prevent the birth of Hercules, causing much stress to Alcmene. Fortunately, the daughter of Teiresias, named Historis, intervened, and came out of Alcmene's chamber exclaiming (it was a lie) that the child had been born. Eileithyia immediately uncrossed her legs and fingers, breaking the hex. And then the twins Hercules and Iphicles were born. It soon became clear that Iphicles was the son of Amphitryon and Hercules the son of Zeus. When he was eight or ten months old Hercules strangled two snakes that appeared in his crib (probably placed there by Hera). Hera continued to pursue Hercules throughout his life, rearing the Nemean lion and the Hydra, among several beasts designed to kill Hercules.
4) The words, vakos and vage are used in the same script Q, and thus one of them cannot mean, "wander."
5) In the Divination_Lesson.html "way" is spelled, FIA.
