Get accustomed to Etruscan phonology -> "c" = /k/ and "ch" = /kH/. Second,
it should read /huth/ and not */hud/, a word that doesn't exist as far as
anyone knows. Hungarian /hat/ derives from Uralic *kutte and is related to
Finnish /kuusi/ through a regular correspondance of velars that causes
instances of *k before labial vowel to change to /h/. The Etruscan word may
equal "6" or "4" in Etruscan and could equally be related to IE *kWetWores.
Tsk, tsk, John.
Your kite has a hole in it and can only be repaired in a library.
