Summary/Abstract: The present author believes that there is no conjuctive particle -θi in Messapic. The epigraphical texts document the existence of the Messapic particle INΘI ‘and’, which should be compared with the Lusitanian conjunction INDI ‘and’, cf. also German und, English and, Sanskrit átha and Avestan aθa.
