Lemnos stele: transliteration

Miguel:

>>I doubt [<s'> is] a "sh", as it's much more common than sigma. More

Miguel again, talking to himself:

>On the Lemnos stele, <s> only occurs in the "double genitive"
><-asi-al->, in the numeral <sialchv-> (Etr. <s'ealch>), and in the
>word <evistho>. In the case of "60" ("40"), the "sh" is assured by

I will accept this and realign my transliteration... thus /avis zialchveis/
instead of /aviz sialchveiz/.
