Etymology edit
Compare Latin palatum (βpalateβ). Note this word is not attested in Etruscan script, only as an obscure Latinized Etruscan word falandum or faladum that Festus glosses as Latin coelum (βskyβ) (see De verborum significatione, 78, 23 "falae dictae ab altitudine a fala(n)do, quod apud Etruscos caelum significat"; "falae (βsiege towersβ) are so called because of their extension to the falandum (βfala(n)dumβ), which means "sky" among the Etruscans"). The ending -o is surely due to the Latin context, so the Etruscan word is likely simply πππππ (falaΞΈ) or something similar, as this forms the basis for the presumed derivatives ππππππππ (falaΞΈres), etc., which are attested in Etruscan.
