Latin perfects

[Steve Gustafson]

Peter Gray sic ait:

> I know no Etruscan.  Can anyone confirm Paolo Agostini's statement that
> Etruscan had a -v- perfective?

My understanding is that Etruscan formed a past tense, unmarked for aspect,
in -c or -ce:  -turce-, (he) gave, -svalce-, lived, -lupuce-, died.

L'an mil neuf sens nonante neuf sept mois
Du ciel viendra grand Roy deffraieur
Resusciter le grand Roy d'Angolmois
Avant apres Mars regner par bonheur.
