I've also found some stuff on EteoCypriot,

Would you like to share details of your thoughts with the list? I presume,
from your mention of /lasana/, that you must be talking about the Amathus
bilingual:

ana matori umiesai mukulai lasana arisitonose aratowanakasokoose
kerakeretulose takana[----]soto alo kailipoti

partially translated into Greek as "The city of the Amathusians the noble
Ariston son of Aristonax" (this sentence no verb). I am intrigued you think
it could be Tyrrhenian.
