sarsite

== Umbrian == === Etymology === Uncertain. Poultney analyzes the term as a derivative from Proto-Italic *sarkītēd, an adverb from *sarkītos, from a perfect passive participle to a verb equivalent to Latin sarciō (“to patch”), itself—according to De Vaan—perhaps from Proto-Italic *sarkjō, from Proto-Indo-European *sr̥ḱ-yé-ti, from *serḱ-. Poultney tentatively suggests a semantic development of "sewn together" > "collectively" > "publicly." === Adverb === sarsite (late Iguvine) The meaning of this term is uncertain. Possibilities include: (per Poultney) in public (per Buck) wholly === References === De Vaan, Michiel (2008), “sarciō, -īre”, in Etymological Dictionary of Latin and the other Italic Languages (Leiden Indo-European Etymological Dictionary Series; 7), Leiden, Boston: Brill, →ISBN, page 539 Poultney, James Wilson (1959), The Bronze Tables of Iguvium, Baltimore: American Philological Association, page 322 Buck, Carl Darling (1904), A Grammar of Oscan and Umbrian: With a Collection of Inscriptions and a Glossary‎[1], page 345 Vine, Brent (2017), “Chapter VIII: Italic”, in Klein, Jared S., Joseph, Brian D., Fritz, Matthias, editors, Handbook of Comparative and Historical Indo-European Linguistics: An International Handbook (Handbücher zur Sprach- und Kommunikationswissenschaft [Handbooks of Linguistics and Communication Science]; 41.2), volume 2, Berlin; Boston: De Gruyter Mouton, →ISBN, § The morphology of Italic, page 794
