Goddess?

[edit]

I say Trebopala is "probably a goddess" because the name ends in -a. In the Centum branch of Indo-European languages, notably the Celtic and Italic branches to which Lusitanian seems most likely to be akin, a-stems tend to be feminine. While Lusitanian seems to lose final -s (OILA for expected *oilas in Ribeira da Venda) obscuring the distinction between feminine and masculine -a stems, a feminine - and therefore a goddess - is still more likely. Lest I be accused of original research, Witczak agrees, seeing a parallel with the Indian Vispala. Paul S (talk) 23:11, 2 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
