Faliscan. Labeled by de Vaan as Faliscan, saying it comes from Velius Longus. From Velius Longus' De Orthographia we can find (full text): "Nos non tam propter illas causas quas supra proposuimus , quam propter originem vocis, siquidem, ut testis est Varro, a Sabinis fasena dicitur, et sicut s familiariter in r transit, ita f in vicinam adspirationem mutatur. Similiter ergo et haedos dicimus cum adspiratione, quoniam faedi dicebantur apud antiquos: item hircos, quoniam eosdem aeque fircos vocabant. Nam et e contrario quam antiqui habam dicebant, nos fabam dicimus." Note that fasena, f(a)edus and fircus are given by de Vaan as Sabine Varro forms. So how is this Faliscan?
