The verb ematune may be ematen, the simple attributive form of 
the verb eman give, or ema duen, give she did, now eman zuen. 
Much study and careful comparison of texts will be required to 
settle the differences between the Etruscan and. the modern Basque 
in matters of grammar and phonetics. 
ADDITIONAL BILINGUALS. 
The following bilinguals and larger texts I owe to the kindness 
of Mr. VanderSmissen, who has collected them out of Fabretti and 
other sources not at present accessible to me, for the purpose of 
subjecting the syllabary to every reasonable test. 
The following is given by Lanzi (Vol. IL., p. 565, No. 8) but in a 
very imperfect shape. 
Fabretti 69, Pl. VI. F: ATIVS:L:F-STE: HARVSPE 
FVLGVRIATOR 
C: A8AYES LP: LP: HEYMFIS : YPVYNFY -: 8PBNYAC 
The point between the initial C and the following A is not part of 
the text. The E’s and F’s are archaic in form, but are, [ think, 
correctly rendered as such by Lanzi. The M of the fourth group 
may be M. The V of the fifth group is indistinct in Fabretti, but 
Lanzi recognized it as such. The character I have given as B is of 
the sume form above as 8, but the lower half is open. As a variant 
of 8 I represent it by the nearest, indeed by the only, variant con- 
tained in the syllabary I read the Etruscan :

attention widow of diviner diviner sacrifice of indicator lightning by indicator

IT am not aware of any present Basque word for sacrifice. The 
term gunako now means towards, and used substantively may have

The sense is far from clear. I may add that the final E of the first group is uncertain in 
Fabretti.
