Latin perfects and Fluent Etruscan in 30 days!

[Rick Mc Callister]

	Actually, it's not unfortunate in that Etruscan am- may have been
borrowed from IE and then borrowed into Latin as amicus, etc. So the IE
origin of ambi- is not the point.
	The point is if it's possible that Etruscan am-  --provided it
means "to be with, accompany, etc." might be a verb based on ambi- or
something similar

>[re: the link between Latin amicus and the ambi- root]

>Unfortunately for your hypothesis, the ambhi- root has wide attestation:
>Latin, Greek, Armenian, Albanian and with syllabic /m/ Old Indic, and
>Celtic.   Pokorny relates it to the ambo root.
