butatu and abaztorra, drive away, repulse, seem to preserve the root bat. The corresponding 
Japanese word is butsu, to strike, whence comes bushi, a soldier. 
The following word in Etruscan is nechipi or inchibi. It may answer to the Basque nehabe, 
a servant, or be a compound of asi, as ans ibe, one who cares for, or represent inywbi, great 
desire. For the present I translate it as the beloved or darling of the army. 
ambe Turaani: for Turaan, see Cippus, Front, line 5. The word is here in the dative 
without postposition to arrapatzen. — 
143 Line 3. zarratu mai eritza on agisa ne: eritza is in 3 sing. pres. ind. agreeing with the 
relative ne at the end of the clause, its antecedent being zarratu mat. The Etruscan agisa, 
formed from agin as lanesa from landu and zekesa from zeken, is a synonym of the commoner 
agintzarvi, 2 commander, 
Senanako sortze : Sena takes an additional 7 before the genitive ko ; compare Bayonako, of 
Bayonne. 
etsitzen ekarri Turaani: this presents what in Etruscan is an unusual form of etst. It is 
Basque however. Turaani is dative as in line 2. 
ni ema, I give. ; 
laragabe is an enigma. It seems to be a negative expression composed of gabe, without, 
having the positive meaning, permission. In Basque permission is baimen or zilhegi. In the 
Eugubine Tables menimi represents baimen. Perhaps laragabe is literally ‘‘ without opposi- 
tion,” but I do not know with what Basque word to connect lara. 
144 Line 4. obi ra imbetu ichpi ra: for obi, see Cippus, Left Side 1-4, and for imbe, Cippus, 
Front, line 14. This is the first appearance of the full form 7imbetwu, which with ichpi, contri- 
bution, constitutes a compound verb, with ra as the sign of the infinitive. 
Sena tobe tobe imi: for tobe, see Cippus, Left Side 9-12. The first tobe qualifies Sena; the 
second apparently forms a compound verb with im7. 
nayago : see Cippus, Left Side 17-20. It has comparative power : ‘‘I prefer.” 
Alin che itsatui: the che means ‘‘even.” The noun itsatu, here in the dative, shows the 
root itsat of itsatsi, atzitu, hold, seize, but which in itsaskor means, adhere. Thus itsatwi will 
mean, ‘‘ to the adherents.” 
145 Line 5. jabe gabetu: gabetu means deprived. Here it should signify departed. The 
Basque uses zen for late, defunct, answering to the Iroquois kenha. The Japanese shini, 
death, agrees.
