Compile the Etruscan-Raetic-Lemnian morphological correspondences from Rix 1998, Schumacher 2004 and Eichner 2012 into a table, then test them against a null model: count how often equally specific matches arise between Etruscan and unrelated languages of similar phonology (e.g. Basque, Hurrian, Sumerian) using the same matching rules.

From the Larth Etruscan.csv (DAT0DEDXR3X5TB5), build a word-final suffix frequency table for Etruscan (-s, -l, -si, -le, -ce, -che, -a) by text type and date, as the baseline any proposed relative's morphology must be compared against.
