Initial scholarly agreement that the Adriatic Veneti were Illyrian was based on arguments since refuted. They worshipped Belenus and were possibly Celtic or heavily influenced by Celtic culture, despite repeatedly supporting the Romans against the Gauls. If so, the name may share the same derivation as the Armorican one above. Numerous other theories from other substrate languages have also been offered however. ==== Proper noun ==== Venetī m pl (genitive Venetōrum); second declension Veneti (a tribe of northeastern Italy and Slovenia in antiquity) ===== Declension ===== Second-declension noun, plural only. ===== Derived terms ===== ===== Descendants ===== English: Veneti === References === Veneti - Traduction latin-allemand | PONS
