Commentary
Evidently a noun in the plural, being accompanied by the numeral þal. Archaic auslauting a of the plural ending -ra has, as in Etruscan, been lost through apocope. One of only two grammatically marked plurals in the Raetic corpus so far. The word is lexically obscure; no known Etruscan cognate.
