Examples? I thought 'ais' was known in Latin only as a gloss?
I meant the following borrowings:
Umbrian esono- "divine, sacred, sacrifice"
Oscan aisusis "sacrifices"
Marrucian aisos "god"
Paelignian aisis "god", and
Voscian esaristrom "sacrifice".
(Miguel Carrasquer Vidal, quoted in Rick Mc Callister's "Etruscan Glossary").
