śuθi

Duhoux 2008a:53–78 investigated the possibility if the Etruscan word śuθi ‘tomb’ (this meaning is the communis opinio since Deecke 1875a:53, next to his own semantic analysis [Duhoux 2008a:54–56] see also Pallottino 1988a:486; Steinbauer 1999a:472, cf. also Wallace 2008a passim) is a loanword from Carian sδi(a) ‘grave, burial’ (for the precise form and meaning see s.v.), but rightly rejected it due to the obvious phonological difficulties and since it may represent an internal derivation from the Etruscan verb śuθ ‘to put, to place’ (Pallottino 1988a:486 [implicitly]; Steinbauer 1999a:472, cf. also Duhoux 2008a:56).
