πŒ€πŒπŒ”πŒ•πŒ‰πŒπŒ•πŒ–

Umbrian

Etymology

Disputed. Perhaps from Proto-Italic *ana-sting-, itself from Proto-Italic *stengʷō and prefixed with *ana-. Alternatively, perhaps from an- + an otherwise unattested Umbrian equivalent of Latin stinguō. Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *stengʷ-. If so, cognate with Latin stinguō. Alternatively, it may be from Proto-Italic *steigō, from Proto-Indo-European *(s)teyg-. If so, cognate with Latin īnstīgō.
