"Tabula Cortonensis" gave Luciano Agostiniani of Perugia University, the
chance to add 30 new words to a known vocabulary of about 300 words. Among
the words deciphered there is a series of numbers: sar (10), sa (4), and zal
(2). Other important new words are: span (lowland), vinac (vineyard),
celtinei (land), and "eth," which recurs in Etruscan simply means "and in
this way."
