“The oldest Basconic-language writing has been found in Navarre, from the I. century b.C.: ‘sorioneku’”
“Researchers from the Arantzadi scientific association have found the ‘Irulegi hand’, in Aranguren: it’s shaped like a right hand, made of bronze, and contains a four-line inscription. The first word directly ties it with today’s Basque: sorioneku.”
Translation for non-Basque speaking lemmings:
