Marcus Prometheus:
Thank you very much for your great explainations !
So the Etruscans look to be descendents of the Sea People and of Troia

But what meant ROS originally ? Perhaps sea ?

And which would be the family of people (or language)

Perhaps the Phriges ?

Thanks again and I hope do not to abuse of your kindness.
