Etruscan[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Unknown.
Noun[edit]
πππππ β’ (rasna)[1]
Usage notes[edit]
- The word functioned as the Etruscan people's autonym. For this reason some references gloss it as "Etruscan", "Etruscans" (collectively) or "Etruria", but inscriptions like meΟlum rasneas clevsinsl speak against such a gloss (it makes sense as "MeΟlum of the people of Chiusi", not as "MeΟlum of the Etruria of Chiusi").
