The term presumably lacks rhotacism, which is consistent with other Sabine glosses, such as fasena. However, it is incongruent with Latin creper, which was also claimed to have derived from Sabine. The linguist Annie Burman suggests that the preservation of the diphthong /au/ and the lack of rhotacism are both consistent with Oscan. === Noun === ausum (nominative singular) gold === References ===
