====S====
In Oscan, ''s'' between vowels did not undergo [[Rhotacism (sound change)|rhotacism]] as it did in Latin and Umbrian; but it was voiced, becoming the sound {{IPA|/z/}}. However, between vowels, the original cluster ''rs'' developed either to a simple ''r'' with lengthening on the preceding vowel, or to a long ''rr'' (as in Latin), and at the end of a word, original ''rs'' becomes ''r'' just as in Latin. Unlike in Latin, the s is not dropped, either Oscan or Umbrian, from the consonant clusters ''sm'', ''sn'', ''sl'': Umbrian ''`sesna'' "dinner,"  Oscan '''kersnu''' vs Latin ''cēna''.{{sfn|Buck|1904|pp=73–76}}
