shape in the the modern Italian, the language of the common 
people :— 
Italian, Guai a me. 
With this observation, and the remark that gwal means /ovw also, 
I refer to it and gwely the following words :— 
Val-lia, in Etruria, a river. 
Vel-eia, near Placentia. 
Vel-itre in Latium ; now Velletri. 
Fel-sina, afterwards Bononia ; now Bologna. 
Vola-Terra, now Volterra, in Etruria. 
Vul-sinii, or Volsinii, in Etruria ; now Bolsena. 
Fala-crinz in the Sabini. 
Fal-erii in Picenum ; now Faleroni. 
Fal-isci, the people of Falerii. 
Fal-ernus ager, in Campania. 
Fel-tria in Venetia; now Feltri. 
Fal-erii in Etruria; now Falari. 
It may excite some surprise to see Vola-terra and Vol-sinii in 
this list ; but on comparing Vol-sinii and Fel-sina with Vel-athri, 
the coin-name of Vola-terra, it will be immediately seen that 
Vel, or in a harsher form Fel, is the root of all the prefixes. 
Should it be asked what sina is, it may be suggested that it is 
probably a portion of Ra-sena, the name of the Tuscans’ retained 
pure in Sena in Etruria, and in Sena on the Adriatic ; not called 
after the Senones. The same word is visible in Por-sena, which, 
in the Cumrian language, means, Por, the Lord, of Sena or the 
Sena. 
“ Gwent” appears to be a favourite name among the Cum- 
rian tribes, and its appearance either in its simple or compound

be published till the second is finished. It certainly is not Greek, and the Cumrian 
words in it are not numerous, not more, indeed, than a dominant tribe might be 
supposed to have borrowed from their vanquished subjects.
