“…In this pre-alpine region, located about 50 km from Ticino, the percentage of individuals with haplogroup R1b-U152 is around 50 %, just as for our Ticino sample (Table 5). This local present day hotspot for haplogroup R1b-U152 fits quite well the ancient habitats of Celtic cultures such as the Lepontii, being most probably at the origin of the name "Valle Leventina" for the upper part of the Ticino Valley, or the Orobii [58][59][60]. Haplogroup R1b-U152 is significantly less frequent north of the Alps, but remains the most frequent haplogroup throughout the entire country (Table 5).…”

A sample of 606 Swiss individuals has been characterized for 27 Y-STR and 34 Y-SNPs, defining major European haplogroups. For the first time, a subsample from the southernmost part of Switzerland, the Italian speaking canton Ticino, has been included. The data reveals significant intra-national differences in the distribution of haplogroups R1b-U106, R1b-U152, I1 and J2a north and south of the alpine divide, with R1b-U152 being the most frequent haplogroup among all Swiss subpopulations, reaching 26 % in average and 53 % in the Ticino sample. In addition, a high percentage of haplogroup E1b1b-M35 in Eastern Switzerland corresponds well with data reported from Western Austria. In general, we detected a low level of differentiation between the subgroups north of the alpine divide. The dataset also revealed a variety of microvariants. Some of them were previously known to be associated with particular haplogroups. However, we discovered one microvariant in DYS533 that seems to be closely associated with haplogroup I2-P215 (xM223). This association had not yet been reported to date. The concordance study with two STR-kits suggests that the DYS533 microvariant is due to an InDel in the flanking regions of the marker. One individual carried a large deletion, frequently detected in people of East Asian ancestry, encompassing the amelogenin locus. To our knowledge, this is the first time that such a deletion has been observed within European haplogroup R1b-U152. This is the first comprehensive Y chromosomal dataset for Switzerland, demonstrating significant population substructure due to an intra-national geographical barrier.

“…At this point a brief detour is required, to consider a parallel to the * ō‐ perfect in a completely different language family of ancient Italy. Lepontic is a Celtic language attested in North Italy from the sixth century bc ; whether it is to be considered a dialect of Gaulish or is a separate language remains unclear (see Eska ; Uhlich ; ). Interesting for our purposes is the 3 sg preterite tetu ‘gave/dedicated’ (CO‐48/Morandi 180), which comes from an original perfect * d (h) e‐d (h) oh 1/3 ‐e to either the root * d h eh 1 ‐ ‘set up’ (LIV 136–8) or * deh 3 ‐ ‘give’ (LIV 105–6).…”

The Future Perfect in Oscan and Umbrian, and theŌ‐Perfect in South Picene

Oscan and Umbrian have a future perfect suffix -us-/-ur-. Although various sources for this suffix have been suggested, none satisfactorily explain its origin. This article evaluates these previous attempts and makes a new proposal: the Oscan and Umbrian future perfect can be identified as a perfect suffix *-o-plus the future suffix *-s-. The perfect suffix *-o-, although not directly attested in Oscan and Umbrian, is found in the related language South Picene. The origin of the *-o-suffix is traced back to inherited perfects of the type 3sg. *Ce-CoH-e, e.g. *de-doh 3 -e 'gave' > *ded o ? Umbrian te rust '(s)he will have given', with subsequent reanalysis of the root vowel *-o-as a suffix. A parallel for this development is found in Gaulish.

Keltische (und rätische?) Personennamen in der vorrömischen Epigraphik der Schweiz

Der vorliegende Artikel gibt einen Überblick über das in vernakulären Inschriften der Eisenzeit bezeugte Personennamengut der Schweiz mit Fokus auf die cisalpin-keltischen Inschriften der Südschweiz und diskutiert zwei mit diesem Material in Zusammenhang stehende Themen: die mögliche Präsenz sprachlich rätischer Elemente, und die mutmaßlichen Unterschiede zwischen lepontischer und gallischer Personennamenbildung. 1 Ausgeklammert bleiben vorrömisches Namenmaterial in römischen Inschriften sowie Götter-und Ortsnamen. Ebenfalls beiseite bleiben müssen aus Platzgründen die auf Schweizer Boden gefundenen vorrömischen Münzlegenden.Auf dem Gebiet der heutigen Schweiz sind vorrömische Inschriften in mindestens fünf, vermutlich sechs unterschiedlichen Alphabeten belegt. Sie werden dementsprechend verschiedenen epigraphischen Korpora zugeordnet: dem gallischen, 2 dem cisalpin-keltischen, 3 dem venetischen, 4 dem camunischen 5 und dem rätischen. 6 Wie in der Karte in Abb. 1 zu sehen sind die Fundorte der Inschriften weitgehend sauber nach Korpora getrennt und -wenig überraschend -geographisch nach den jeweiligen Hauptbeleggebieten ausgerichtet. Galli-1 Die Forschung für diesen Artikel wurde von der Europäischen Union unter der Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship Celtic Language and Identity in Northern Italy and the Alpine Region (CLINIAR) finanziert.
