Volume 3:

A Vocabulary of Umbrian
Carl Darling Buck, 1904

This vocabulary is extracted from Carl Darling Buck's A Grammar of Oscan and
Umbrian (1904) and lists over 200 words in the language from the Iguvine
Tables. Buck's Latin definitions are translated into English and listed
alphabetically in two sections: Umbrian-English and English-Umbrian. Buck's
translations of Umbrian words are compared with those of James Wilson
Poultney (1959) and differences are noted. The volume also contains glosses
attributed to the Umbrians, and a table of the Umbrian alphabet.
