NOTES

The conventions for transliterating the Etruscan script, adopted on the occasion of the Etruscology congress which took place in Leiden in 1931, foresee the use of 3 Greek letters and 1 latin letter with a diacritic sign. To overcome the limitations of the computer font, I used the following symbols:

A

A = short for Aule and Arnth
Av = short for Avile, Avle
Avile, Avle, Aule = (n.pers.m.) Lat. Aulus
Ath = short for Arnth
Aivas, Aevas = (n.pers.m.) Ajax
Aita, Eita = Ades, Hades

Cae, Cai = (n.pers.m.) Lat. Gaius
Caile Vipinas = (n.pers.m.) name of an Etruscan hero (known in the Latin sources as Caelius Vibenna)
Calu = god of death. [There is a possible linguistic connection between the Etruscan god Calu and the Lithuanian goddess of death Giltine (cp. the Balto-Slavic/Lithuanian root gelti 'to ache; to prick, sting' :: galti 'end, death'). The name Kala can be found in the Vedic tradition as the name of a female demon. It is also used as another name of the god Shiva, i.e.Maha-Kala,  and it is the name of a poisonous snake as well, thus making clear the meaning "to sting, to prick, to die" in Lithuanian. Paolo Agostini]
