πŒŠπŒ–πŒ•πŒ„πŒš

Umbrian

Etymology

Disputed. Typically interpreted as a denominative verb to a participle equivalent to Latin cautus, from Proto-Italic *kawetos, from *kaweō. However, the linguist Brent Vine suggests that the monophthong /u/ in this term is ambiguous and, thus, the preform cannot be conclusively determined.
