Clarification: I didn't state this "Semitoid" language is the producer of
such names. I simply stated that this would be the original substratum,
later replaced by IndoEtruscan which in turn became the substratum for later
IE languages. I would likewise disagree that any AfroAsiatic language can
provide the answer here.
