lord deprived appreciative regard to manifest 



butatii and ahaztorra, drive away, repulse, seem to preserve the root hat. The corresponding 

 Japanese word is iutsu, to strilce, wlienoe comes bushi, a soldier. 



The following word in Etruscan is nechipi or incMM. It may answer to the Basque nehabe, 

 a servant, or be a compound of ansi, as aiis ibe, one who cares for, or represent inyubi, 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. 



1*3 Line .3. zarratu inai eritza mi agisa ne : eritza is in 3 sing. pres. ind. agreeing with the 

 relative ne at the end of the clause, its antecedent being' zarratu mai. The Etruscan agisa, 

 formed from agin as lanesa from landu and zekesa from zelmn, is a synonym of the commoner 

 agintzari, a commander. 



Senanalco sortze : Sena takes an additional n before the genitive Ico ; compare Bayonako, of 

 Bayonne. 



etsitzen ekarri Turaani : this presents what in Etruscan is an unusual form of etsi. 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. 



1** 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 imhetu, which with ichpi, contri- 

 bution, constitutes a compound vei-b, with ra as the sign of the infinitive. 



Sena tohe tobe imi : for tobe, see Cippus, Left Side 9-12. The first tohe qualifies Sena ; the 

 second apparently forms a compound verb with imi. 



nayago : see Cippus, Left Side 17-20. It has comparative power : " I prefer." 



Alin che itsatui: the che means "even." The noun iisaiw, here in the dative, shows the 

 root itsat of itsatsi, atzitu, hold, seize, but which in itsaskor means, adhere. Thus itsatiii will 

 mean, " to the adherents." 



1*5 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.
