Verb [Volscian]

Etymology: Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *teh₂g- and potentially prefixed with the Volscian equivalent of ad, a, ab. If accurate, this term would be a cognate with Latin tangō and Latin attingō. This theory is controversial as it is unusual for the phoneme /g/ to be fricativised and debuccalized into the phoneme /h/. Such an unusual phonological change has been explained through a potential derivation from *aktāȋus, although this perspective is not supported by most linguists. Alternatively, it has been suggested that it may be related to Proto-Indo-European *teh₂- (“to melt”) as this etymology may be more phonologically consistent. If true, the term would be cognates with Latin tābeō, Ancient Greek τήκω (tḗkō), Sanskrit तोयम् (toyam), Old English þāwian, and Russian таять (tajatʹ). Another possibility is that it derives from Proto-Indo-European *(s)teh₂y- (“to steal”) or Proto-Indo-European *(s)teh₂ (“to steal”). If so, it would be a cognate with Ancient Greek τητάω (tētáō). Linguist Rex Wallace disputes this perspective, suggesting that it makes little semantics sense within the context of this inscription on which this term was found. Wallace argues that this inscription, the Tabula Veliterna, describes an individual performing whatever action is described by atahus with the consent of the local magistrates, and therefore it is unlikely it was describing theft. Instead, Wallace suggests it refers to the act of laying hands upon the sacred object central to the inscription.
