Usage notes

edit
  • The word functioned as the Etruscan people's autonym. For this reason some references gloss it as "Etruscan", "Etruscans" (collectively) or "Etruria", but inscriptions like meΟ‡lum rasneas clevsinsl speak against such a gloss (it makes sense as "MeΟ‡lum of the people of Chiusi", not as "MeΟ‡lum of the Etruria of Chiusi").
