I don't think there is any need to show an influence from anywhere. There
still may have been, of course.
And furthermore, the sources for changes in Latin tend to be reflecting
either the more literary language, or the common speech we call Vulgar
Latin. The source of Romance is in some ways slightly different even from
Vulgar Latin. So there's much don't know as securely as we would like. But
I still think Etruscan influence is too far removed from the event.
