Oscan

Etymology

Perhaps inherited from Proto-Italic *seknāō, itself likely formed as a denominative verb from *seknom +β€Ž *-āō. The term may have been influenced by Latin signō. By surface analysis, a denominative verb formed from segΓΊnΓΊ (β€œstatue”).

Verb

πŒ”πŒ„πŒ‚πŒ€πŒπŒ€πŒ•πŒ•πŒ„πŒƒ β€’ (seganatted) (Third-person singular perfect)

Usage notes

The related term segúnú is only attested with the meaning "statue," which is semantically distant from the denominative verb seganatted. It is possible that the term may have acquired the meaning "to mark" due to influence from Latin signō.
