The Zagreb Mummy Script

Zagreb3.html

words and phrases--continued

by Mel Copeland

(based upon a work published in 1981 on Etruscan Phrases)

The Etruscan Alphabet is similar to ours with the below exceptional characters. A, C (K) E, F, H, I, IE (J), L, N, S, T, X, Y, Z are familiar letters. Letters not found in most of the scripts include D, W, and G. D is usually seen as a T; the G is rendered as shown below. The B is rare and seems to be indistinguishable from the 8. The texts use both the F and 8, and sometimes they are interchangeable. The scripts, as is true with the Zagreb Mummy, have two "R's" and three "S's". The Zagreb Mummy, like the Tavola Eugubine, follows a liturgical style which involves considerable repetition. The language of all the scripts is close to the Romance languages. If you are familiar with Latin/the Romance languages you will be able to follow much of the script. In script ZH ff we see the two "R's" being interchanged and used in tandum, which is peculiar to the Zagreb script. The "M" = S is consistently used with the "S", and sometimes there is confusion between the "M" and the "", but because of the repetition, the use of the two letters is fairly easy to verify. In fact missing pieces of the linen wrapping we have replaced because of the repetition. The other "S" is given a work-out in the linen, as opposed to other scripts and in a few instances is interchanged with the .Where you see a lower case letter (e vs E) it is an interpolated vowel whose use has been confirmed in other scripts . Conspicuously abesent in this script is the letter "K", which here is rendered as "C" and . Also , peculiar to this script we find in a couple of cases where the two "R"s are used in tandem; i.e. PO.

This script follows the hierophantic style of the Tavola Eugubine and uses epithets profusely. Whereas the Tavola Eugubine used the verb, ETVNV (Etono), ETvNAM is used very often here.

After I have completed the first phase of the Zagreb Mummy profile, as you will see below, I will upload a copy of my worksheets which assign alpha-numeric locators to each word. After this I will fold into the main Etruscan_Phrases.html the words and phrases of this site (through which you will find a working vocabulary).The work is now in progress.
