True. Sorry, apologies. I shouldn't be shooting from the hip like
that. I even have a Etruscan dictionary on my home computer.

As for /ais/, /eis/ not being in Lemnian, who would expect it to be
documented there, with the limited number of inscriptions? It's like
saying that "beet" is not documented in Gothic, therefore it's not
part of Proto-Germanic. Give me a break!
