Finally, we have the form klen-ar-a-si (1915), where the supposed plural suffix-ar seems followed by the genitive suffix-si (a non-Aryan arrangement, though existing in Ossetic), with a connecting vowel-a-; or else klen-ar might be compared with the Thusch wazh-ar, and klen-aro with the kindred Tshetsh wezh-ira, 'brethren'. The suffix-si occurs again in Prekuthurast, apparently a genitive of Prekuthura, 'descendant of Precus'. For PrekutAara would be analogous to Anei/t«ra and Velthurii/tura (ante, p. 80), Prcku or Prcchu being an Etruscan proper name (1713, 1715), of which the genitive Prekus is found From these inscriptions there is ground for inferring that tusurthi implies some sort of filial relationship, as it holds in the fourth inscription the same position as gnatus, natus, klensi, and nata hold in the others. The next parallels will lead us to a similar result:--The conclusion to be drawn from these comparisons is, that tusurthi (or-thii, or-thir), as it corresponds to sek, 'daughter', and sech farthana,' step-daughter', must express either daughterhood, or else some modification of daughterhood. And, as in sech farthana the daughterhood is expressed by the first word sech, so in tusur-thii or tusur-thi the daughterhood would in all probability be expressed by the first element tusur-, since we know that thi or thii was an Etruscan word in itself, and that it did not signify 'daughter'. For, in the great Perugian inscription (1914) we meet with the following paragraph:--in the same epitaph (1915) as Prekuthurasi and Menarasi, the three words appearing in the following connection:--... Aules Larthial Prekuthurasi Larthialisvle Kestnal Menarasi eth fanu Lautn Prekus....
