[edit] Venetic

But another set of 'isoglosses' connects Venetic with Germanic. Perhaps most striking is the fact that the accusative singular of the first personal pronoun has acquired a gutteral consonant from the nominative: thus eχo, meχo ＝ Goth. ik, mik (also Hittite uk, ammuk). The pronoun of identity also shows a close resemblence in both languages: Ven. sselboi sselboi ＝ 'sibi ipsi'; cf. OHG. der selb selbo. In the vocabulary, too, there is an important point of resemblence: if a•hsu is correctly interpreted as 'Herma', then it may well be cognate with the Germanic ansu- 'divinity'. That the Veneti were once in close geographical proximity to the Germans is suggested by the mention of Venedi by ancient authorities in the region of the Vistula.
