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 01 mai, 

 appears about 50 times, AP artu, 33, NEI ganio, 31, AL 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, also, occurs 13 times, the 

 postposition AS, rano, 15, and the adverb or relative SE, 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, exti'acted 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 ilhar translates the French haricot. The Etruscan 

 shows that the medial h 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 juncus, 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.
