721 Line 5. Turano ganaino: the Greco-Latin form Tyrrheni, and the Umbrian form Tarsin-ater 
indicate that the Etruscan word wis Turaan rather than Turano. It is very probable that the 
word is the same as that Turan which has given a designation to the greater part of the human 
race, the Turanians. In his history of the reign of Feridun, Mirkhond, the Persian historian» 
sets forth Turan as embracing Chin, Machin and all the lands of Turkestan, that is, the coun- 
tries north and north-east of Persia. Sadik Isfahani, in a geographical treatise, says that 
Turan extends from the Oxus to the extremity of the east, and northwards to the regions of 
darkness. The name Turan did not designate any one people, but was applied generically to 
many allied tribes or uations. The same word is probably found in druna, a gloss of Hesy- 
chius, who makes it equivalent to the Greek arche. Mr. John Fraser, in his ‘‘ An Etrusci 
Celtae?” appropriately compares this word with the ‘Tyrrhenian name and with the Greek 
twrannos. The latter word has been derived from koiranos, but it is very probable that the 
Greeks picked it up in-Asia Minor from the Hittite aborigines. The derivation of druna I have 
already suggested as being from the Basque ttwrri, source, fountain head. The Etruscans were 
the western Turan. The compound postposition ganaino, in Etruscan ganeno or ganean, now 
means as far as, but in Etruscan seems to have meant simply towards. 
obi ra eramira ; obi has appeared already (Left Side, 1-4), and va needs no explanation. For 
eramira see Left Side, 13-16. 
Alin kakara banetu XIT., the 12 united states of the Dominion. The modern word for power, 
dominion, is almen, and this I have found in a Celtiberian inscription. In Etruria alin takes 
its place. Then follow the lost kakara, state or states, and banetu, united, the equivalent of 
the Basque batu. These 12 united states constituted ono Twraan, good Tyrrhenia. 
122 Line 6. ambe Turano arduru no; ambe means great in Etruscan. See note on ambat, Left 
Side, 17-20. Turano is governed in the genitive of position by ardura, a Basque word mean- 
ing care, which is itself governed by the postposition no, of. 
bane belongs to the following line. 
123 Line 7. banetw ra aintzin imi Pisa : banetu is employed in this place as a noun, the union, 
and is governed by ra, to, towards. Also aintzin is a noun which means warning. But its 
composition with imi is precisely that of the Japanese to which I have referred in notes on 
Left Side, 5-S. Pisa was not one of the twelve states: Pignotti, Storia di Toscana, T. 1, p. 12. 
ezan nauche Pisa ; ezan, now ez, eza, is here a verb conjugated with dut. The compoand 
auxiliary nau is the Basque ‘“‘he me does.” The final che, self, qualifies the ni, and serves to 
denote the double action of Pisa: ‘‘it warns the union and refuses myself.” 
ichpichio nekian nochiu. See Left Side, 9-12.
