zuha, wood. It appears also in zozkor, the stem of a shrub. Thus 
Zerbazuha would be cabbage-stalk or Canlias. The first word so is 
“look,” the French regard. As for chirane, which I have represented 
by ezarri ne, I am inclined to think that it is a lost verb jarren, of 
which jar, attention, jarri, set to work, jario, flow, do, are modern 
representatives. Thus it would be an imperative “ Look towards 
Cabbage-stalk.” The last word rano is a compound of ra and no, 
and means towards. It is thus a postposition. The second bilingual 
is hardly less misleading than the first. 
2. ZENYI: FILINA 
(Latin—Sentia Sex. F.) 
Translit.—nonekakuu aginsa ukara 
Basque—non gogoi Egihatzau akar 
Translat.—which in mind Egihatzau bears 
The chief word calling for comment is that translated by the 
Latin Sentia. It is a feminine name derived from sentis, thorn, 
brier, bramble. The only modern Basque word known to me which 
contains the essential part of Egihatzau is hozkerren, a thorny plant, 
composed of hatz and ekarri. The word hatz now means scratching, 
talon, claw, finger, trace, but must originally have designated a 
sharp point ov thorn, that which scratches, the ohikta of the Iroquois. 
Thus hozkerren would be the thorn bearer. The word hatzegin now 
means to scratch one’s self, literally ‘to do scratching.” This with 
inversion is Egihatz, which may thus be reconciled with sentis. 
Akar, now dakar, is the 3 sing. pres. ind. of ekarri 
There are two more bilinguals in Lanzi, not free from accidental 
coincidences. The original of the following is in the Florentine 
Museum. 
5. F. LECNE. F. OA AIPNAL 
(Latin—C. Licini: C. F. Nigri) 
Translit.—age sanesikane age morabautukarasa 
Basque—age Zuntzikin age Maira Baitu sortze 
Translat.—behold Zuntzegin, behold Maira Baitu’s son 
The word agi, age means appearance, but, from its position in this 
inscription and in others, seems to have the force of an imperative or 
interjection. The Latin Licini is a derivative from /iciwm, a leash, 
tag, thread of the web. It corresponds exactly with the Basque 
zuntz, aiguillée, a needleful, a piece of thread long enough to sew
