Abstract
Here we give a scetch of two our new results in the field of Etruscan inscriptions interpretation. As all the attempts to understand Etruscan inscriptions have no success, we have tried to use Caucasian languages as the the source of lexic material to help in reading inscriptions mentioned. We present some evident lexical parallels in East Caucasian and Etruscan vocabularies. We hope that our comparative reading given here show the possible way to clarify the old Etruscan problem.
