With the positive or negative sense? Baltic, too. In Kuhn's world
Etruscan would have taken it from an Italic substrate, since he
thinks Italic comes from somewhere around the Nordwestblock (to
account for its ties with Celtic and with Germanic, cf eg the
ethnonym Marsi), but EteoCypriot? How would you explain it?
