Re: Taurisci (Was:Re: Kossack's Conclusions)

The name --unless we're dealing with an exonym, a
translation or Gaulish version-- does not sound
Germanic
Weren't they from N. Italy?
Wouldn't that suggest they were either
Gaulish/Lepontic, Ligurian, Venetic or Illyrian?
The -isk- ending is often associated with Ligurians
and Illyrians
