==Etruscan vocabulary==

Much of the more certainly defined vocabulary (from the glossary in Pallottino, 1975, unless otherwise indicated) of the text is again, of course, religious, including references to the god ''uni'' "Juno,"<ref>Pallottino, Massimo. The Etruscans. 1975. Indiana UP. pp. 214</ref>  nouns like ''tmia'' "temple," ''vacal'' "offering, libation (?)," and ''ilucve'' "festival"; or they involve the calendar or elements of the natural world: ''tiur'' "month, moon," ''avil'' "year(s)," ''pulum-χva'' "stars" (?). Other well attested words in the text include the number "three" ''ci'', and some common verbs such as ''turu-'' "give" and ''am-'' "be," and the well known term for "magistrate" ''zilac-''. Most of the rest of the words are contested or uncertain.<ref>Pallottino, Massimo. The Etruscans. 1975. Indiana UP. pp. 225-234</ref>
