Pre-Basque lexical items

[Rick Mc Callister]

	Is this possibly a loan from Latin related to Spanish <saldo>?
or perhaps from some hypothetical Celtic cognate to English <sale, sell>?
or [stretching things a bit] even from Frankish or Gethic?

[snip]

>Possible evidence is <saldu> `sell', which may very well derive from
>*<sali>, the ancestor of modern <sari> `price' (the change /l/ > /r/
>between vowels is regular), as is the loss of /i/ before a suffix).
