πππππππ
See also: ahtimen
Umbrian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Unknown. This specific form of the term is possibly an accusative singular suffixed with *-ππ (*-em). The term overall possibly derives from Proto-Italic *wektis, from Proto-Indo-European *wΓ©Η΅Κ°-tis, Proto-Indo-European *weΗ΅Κ°-. If this theory is accurate, the term would be cognate with Latin vectis and Sanskrit ΰ€ΰ€’ΰ€Ώ (Ε«αΈhi). Alternatively, possibly from Proto-Italic *ag-ti, from Proto-Italic *agΕ, from Proto-Indo-European *hβΓ©Η΅eti, from Proto-Indo-European *hβeΗ΅-.
