4/15/07 Etruscan Grammar, from "Etruscan_Phrases," texts, showing Etruscan declension patterns

Etruscan Phrases – Grammar
Declension Tables (continued)
by Mel Copeland
(from a work published in 1981)

The following are rough declension tables of the Etruscan language, continued from Etruscan_grammar-2.html. This document is to be used in connection with "Etruscan Phrases" spreadsheets, Etruscan_Grammar.xls and Etruscan_GlossaryA.xls. Word definitions and their specific locations in the texts are in the spreadsheets. Women's names from mirrors or paintings are highlighted in blue; men's names are red. Words with question marks next to them may be verbs. Words with a "PL" number are probably nouns, found in the Picacenza Liver. Words in parentheses refer to a separate listing of the same word group in another declension.
