Just to those that pretend that they haven't read it. I withdraw my
previous assumption, after I read it carefully, but one should have
in mind that Me:iones/Tyrrenoi/Pelasgians have disappeared or
assimilated in historic times, for there is no evidences of their
existence in historic sources. Their language survives only in
substratum of Greek, Latin etc. The situation is same like with
Romanian: to claim that Dacian substratum in Romanian is crucial for
this neo-Latin language and that Dacian is a language per se, it is
nonsense.
I confess: I have no clue about Etruscans, but after I read
carefully Beekes' articile, I am aware a little bit about them.
So, if I assume that Rome is from Ruma through u > o change, I think
that its name is from *sreu- and I am not only one, as one could se
it from messages posted in Cybalist.
An anecdote: When upon a time the goat saw the lifted tail of the
ewe, she jumps up delightedly that she saw ewe's tail lifted up. Ewe
reply: I saw everyday your tail lifted up, but I think it is normal
for you.
