Proto-Basque
[edit]Etymology
[edit]The ending very likely corresponds to the modern suffix -era. The first element is obscure, but has been traditionally linked to Auscī, the Latin name of an Aquitanian tribe. Another hypothesis links it to an unattested verb *enautsi (“to say”).[1]
Noun
[edit]*euskala
