Transliteration of Etruscan πππππππ[edit]
I wonder why πππππππ is transliterated ΞΈtriampe. It should be triampe, or, if one wants to retain the Greek aspirated first consonant, the spelling should read πππππππ. There's no reason to think the postulated Etruscan word retained it, according to Ernout and Meillet's Dictionnaire Γ©tymologique de la langue latine, that asserts that Latin triumphus can be traced back to Greek ΞΈΟΞ―Ξ±ΞΌΟΞΏΟ via Etruscan because of the shift Ξ² > p. It doesn't say anything about the first consonant, though. Vincent (talk) 12:33, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
