𐌊𐌖𐌐𐌖𐌓𐌄

Etruscan

Etymology

Uncertain. Perhaps borrowed from an Italic language. Compare Proto-Italic *kupros (“good”).[1][2] However, the philologist Daniele Maras notes that the trisyllabic structure of the Etruscan term perhaps conflicts with much of the Italic evidence, though Maras does not the existence of an extra vowel in South Picene qupíríh. Moreover, Maras further notes that anaptyctic vowels appeared in other Etruscan loanwords, such as Herecele, from Ancient Greek Ἡρακλῆς (Hēraklês).[3]

Proper noun
