Within the comparatively small compass of this paper, NAL, 
sortze appears 30 times, LA, aur 20, NA, andre 26, and IN, uga 9. 
The verb LAD, zarratu, alone or in composition with OI maz, 
appears about 50 times, AP artu, 33, NEI ganio, 31, Ab eritza, 35, 
NA ekarri, 27. The word FEL, aginza, exclusive of its appearance 
in proper names, occurs 30 times; NY, gogo, occurs 20 times, and 
NO, gomu, 15. OA, marra, appears in marakara 11 times and as 
often in other connections. The word IL, atso, occurs 13 times, the 
postposition AS, rano, 15, and the adverb or relative SH, non, 18. 
These sixteen fairly determined Basque words thus represent about 
400 of the words presented in the inscriptions here set forth, and 
make the reading of Etruscan a simple matter. 
ADDENDA. 
The following, extracted from Deecke and compared with the 
copies in Fabretti’s three supplements and Gamurrini’s Appendix, 
have just been sent me by Mr. VanderSmissen. The first number 
is Deecke’s; F. 1, F. 2, F. 3, denote respectively the three supple- 
ments of Fabretti; and A. marks the Appendix.

The Basque iJhar translates the French haricot. The Etruscan 
shows that the medial / is no part of the original word. The only 
term in modern Basque that approaches the form of the Etruscan 
bai and the meaning of the Latin juncws, which I suppose is what 
the scribe meant by jucnus, is abe, a prop, stay, tree. This must 
surely be the original Jack of the Bean-stalk, whom I had not ex- 
pected to have the pleasure of meeting among the graveyards of 
Etruria.
