I have this strange urge to avoid anything with [az96] at the end of it.
There are too many references to this Adolfo Zavaroni. I don't know who this
guy is but apparently he thinks that IE *st- equals Etruscan /z/. I tried
this idea for a short little while until I came to the hard conclusion that
the *s- prefix in IE is unique to IE and not demonstrable to a convincing
degree in Etruscan. I can't help but question his translations which seem to
counter the opinion of the majority (as in the case of /zeri/ for example).
