The word borrokatu, now meaning “lutter” in French, occurs 
frequently in the Eugubine tables with the signification “fight.” I 
know of no modern word borrokatar, the termination tar being 
reserved for ethnic designation as in Lurgosturra, a native of Bur- 
gos. But, as I have.elsewhere indicated, there is a surviving 
instance of its more general use in ancient times furnished in anaitar, 
fraternal, from anai, brother. Another word which can hardly be 
called ethnic is goverritar, «a highlander. In the Eugubine tables 
goitar appears, meaning a commander, one who is above. This word 
borrokatar is in the genitive to the postposition no. The main diffi- 
culty is the sisata, chisata. If it represent ststatw to pierce, ka, by, 
should replace the postposition no: if it represent ezeztatu, the no 
has still to be accounted for. Now in Basque (Lecluse Manuel p. 88) 
the negative nominative ending in zc may be considered as partitive. 
Thus ez da guizonic instead of guizon, the affirmative form, must be 
translated ‘il n’y a pas d’homme.” ‘This ic the Etruscan replaced 
by the genitive no. Thus Hzezta—no is “ actum est de.”

The word irakurri means to read, but is here used in the sense of 
that which is to be read. After it comes the superlative koi-koi, 
from koi, khoi, desirous, fond.

As the two copies differ so much, I may be permitted to suggest slight alterations.

I have changed S at the end of the second group to L, and the second A of the third group 
toForR. I thus read: 
marakara Bagio ganio saragichi ogoi arsa irago (artu) Kurau sortze 
monument Bagio concerns thrice twenty years passes (leads) Kurau natus 
If we read according to Fabretti, it will be: 
monument Bagio concerns Saragichi mother towards Arrakurau nata 
This is not a probable legend ; hence my suggested changes.
