My understanding of Inscription through Slavic language edit

   Itun turuce venel atelinas Tinas cliniiaras.
   This has given Venel Atelinas for the sons of Tin 

It could be transliterated through Slavivc language as "Eton daruče Venel Ateli-naš Dnevoš / dinaš člani Ras

"This is dedicated/given Venel Atelinaš Dinaš (bright) members of Rasa (Rasens - Etruscans); Rasa is Race in Slavic and Rast is "to grow". From that comes "Tabula Rasa" and Rus (rost) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.196.179.60 (talk) 11:54, 22 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Gender edit

Like many other Etruscan deities, his name is gender neutral. This is nonsense. We know very little about Etruscan language, but what little we know seems to indicate that there were no gender neutral names like Simcha or Lindsay. And even if there were some, why would Tins/Tinia be counted among them, if he was the father of Hercle (i.e. neither "mother" nor somebody ambiguous)? 89.64.69.98 (talk) 03:19, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
