Etábnanni doesn't. It contains the remnants of an inflection that meant
`language of the' (the remnants being the `e-*-nanni' section), although
since then the -nanni part of the inflection has gone on to be a word in
its own right meaning `word' (at one stage it meant `language'). I can't
remember what the word is off the top of my head and can't check the
database for lack of Access 2000 or a converter.
