Talk:triumphus

θρίαμβος states "A hymn to Dionysus, sung during processions" not Bachus

Transliteration of Etruscan 𐌕𐌓𐌉𐌀𐌌𐌐𐌄
I wonder why 𐌕𐌓𐌉𐌀𐌌𐌐𐌄 is transliterated θtriampe. It should be triampe, or, if one wants to retain the Greek aspirated first consonant, the spelling should read 𐌈𐌓𐌉𐌀𐌌𐌐𐌄. There's no reason to think the postulated Etruscan word retained it, according to Ernout and Meillet's Dictionnaire étymologique de la langue latine, that asserts that Latin triumphus can be traced back to Greek θρίαμϐος via Etruscan because of the shift β > p. It doesn't say anything about the first consonant, though. Vincent (talk) 12:33, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
