Oscan

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *gΚ·Δ«tā, possibly corresponds to a derivative of Proto-Indo-European *gΚ·ih₃wo-tehβ‚‚, ultimately from *gΚ·eyh₃- (β€œto live”).[1]

According to Buck,[2] in Oscan the Proto-Italic first-declension nominative singular ending *-ā changes in quality to a sound similar to [ɔː], which was written as ΓΊ ⟨𐌞⟩ (representing [o]) or, more rarely, u βŸ¨πŒ–βŸ©.

Compare Latin vita.

Noun

*πŒπŒ‰πŒ‰πŒ•πŒž β€’ (biΓ­tΓΊ)

Notes

Forms marked with an asterisk (*) are assumed based on the first declension of the Oscan Language. When Oscan is transliterated into Latin script, ΓΊ is used to signify an "o" sound, while Γ­ signifies a closed e.
