ETRUSCAN SOUND RULES,
based on FinnUgor protowords
Fred Hamori
This is a hypothetical derivation of Etruscan forms from Proto Finno Ugrian
protowords,
with main emphasis from Ugrian, as has been proposed by Italian linguist Mario
Alinei.
V# > last vowel dropped if not preceeded by a #V+geminate or nasal or
Sibilant.
Like Ural-Altaic the language is agglutinative, with formatives and case markers
as well as tense being part of the agglutinative phrase.
Like FinnoUgrian the voiced stops b,d,g don’t exist in the original language.
Like FinnoUgrian the word structures originally were open format, meaning that
they ended with vowels, so tha VCV or CVCV were common.
Like Sumerian, Etruscan doesn’t have an o, so it substitutes another backvowel,
like a or u.
Like Sumerian, Etruscan doesn't have a j which it often drops or uses other
devices like a g to represent it
Like FinnUgor there is no b, d, g only unvoiced stops, although b at times used
for p in rare instances
