Proto-Italic
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *deḱ-no- (“worthy”), itself from Proto-Indo-European *deḱ-. The existence of the term was posited by Spanish linguist Blanca María Prósper, who suggested it could explain the origins of the Volscian term declune. Prósper proposed that the dissimilation of "-n-n-" to "-l-n-" could explain the etymology of the term declune. Prósper, however, concedes that this theory is "daring."
