Preliminary Report Updated August 01, 2012

Appendix A Etruscan declension patterns as they relate to Greek, Latin & Sanskrit
(From (http://www.maravot.com/Etruscan_Phrases_a.html since July 1998.)
by Mel Copeland

Use in conjunction with Accentuations of the Etruscan language that are comparable to Indo-European declension patterns The following Etruscan declension patterns are similar to Latin patterns. Peculiarities such as the suffix V8 possibly Latin ob and Sanskrit bhya are noted. The locations of the words can be found in the Etruscan GlossaryA.pdf, a glossary of 2,500+ Etruscan words. PATRE8VM may be PATRE8VS. The declension tables of the Etruscan language appear to involve a few cases that are different from Latin, i.e., as with the case of PINA, 8RATER et al. The function of the suffix EI and AI has yet to be discerned. These may be contrasted with IA which is used in proper names, such as the names of gods: TINIA, VNIA, PHABIA, THIA, 8EIA, 8VIA, Tarquinia, etc. IE is used in familiar nouns such as PHERIE, VLIE, PINIE, TERTIE, TIE and 8IE. These documents are intended as an appendix to our Work note: Introduction to the Etruscan language.

) The IA suffix appears to be a Gen. Sing. Case; however, in the name of Tin, Tini, we also have Tinia and Tins. Fitting this declension into a Latin declension is problematic. For instance, TINeS suggests a plural case or Gen. Sing. 3rd Declension. However, the god would not be addressed in a plural sense, unless the address referred to his state in a plural case.

The dropped final syllable is consistent in the Latin-Etruscan shift. (3) Suffix NE and NA appear to be augmentative suffixes, as Italian -one and a suffix to add impressiveness to a word. (4) The IA suffix appears to be a Gen. Sing. Case; however, in the name of Tin, Tini, we also have Tinia and Tins. Fitting this declension into a Latin declension is problematic. For instance, TINeS suggests a plural case or Gen. Sing. 3rd Declension. However, the god would not be addressed in a plural sense, unless the address referred to his state in a plural case.

As a reference we have deus, divus, di, divi, dea, diva; It. dio, dia; Fr. dieu, dieux, deese. (6) General Comment: The words in our Accentuations of the Etruscan language that are comparable to Indo-European declension patterns, 6.21.11 that are not listed herein should fall into the above declensions.
