Inscription Compare

A side-by-side view of two inscriptions to compare their wording and word-endings. It aligns tokens positionally; it does not parse Etruscan grammar.

Quick Compare:
TLE 131 vs CIE 5213 (Genitive Markers)
TLE 868 vs TLE 869 (Lead Plaques)
CIE 4116 vs CIE 4117 (Perugia Bilinguals)

How it Works

Etruscan case endings vary by stem class and, in later inscriptions, by region. Placing two records side by side makes the surface forms directly comparable; deciding which differences are dialectal, chronological or morphological requires the grammatical literature, which this tool does not encode.

Each side loads a real corpus record via the inscription API. Tokens are split on whitespace and shared surface forms are highlighted. Whether two words are genuinely cognate or serve the same grammatical function is a judgement left to the reader; the tool does not determine it.
