spentud

Oscan

Etymology

Uncertain. Perhaps from Proto-Italic *spendō, itself possibly from Proto-Indo-European *spénd-, a root present to Proto-Indo-European *spend-. Rix suggests that the term may be connected with Hittite išpānti⁠ and Ancient Greek σπένδω (spéndō), for which he suggests an original athematic root present. However, the term could also be explained as a derivative of a Proto-Indo-European thematic root present.

Verb

spentud (third-person singular future active imperative)

  1. The meaning of this term is uncertain. Possibilities include: to promise
