Re;, my post from Oct.8, 2010;
My dear Allan!
"What wonderful news! So go ahead and do it!!!
I will still stick to my original guess, which was, as I remember, Etruscan!
Again, please keep us all posted!"
Awaiting, we are! Sixth century BCE?
From Wikipedia;
"In Attic Greek the Etruscans were known as Τυρρήνιοι (Tyrrhēnioi), earlier Tyrsenoi, from which the Romans derived the names Tyrrhēni (Etruscans), Tyrrhēnia (Etruria), and Mare Tyrrhēnum (Tyrrhenian Sea).[2] The Etruscans called themselves Rasenna, which was syncopated to Rasna or Raśna.[3]
As distinguished by its unique language, this civilization endured from the time of the earliest Etruscan inscriptions (ca. 700 BC)[4] until its assimilation into the Roman Republic in the 1st century BC.[4]"
Etruscan still looks good, does it not?
