Veritate (Parabita) ‹ indoeuropeo *U̯ĕr-ĭtŏ-h1?i̯ăh₂/₄-tĭ-s 'via corsa'

Veritate ‹ Messapian *U̯ĕrĭtāhātĭ-s ‹ (Neolithic?) Proto-Indo-European *U̯ĕr-ĭtŏ-h₁?i̯ăh₂/₄-tĭ-s "runway", together with Brugnato (La Spezia; cf. Brunate [Como] and possibly Austrian Braunau) and Capriata d'Orba (Alessandria), forms a subgroup of place-names with ending -ate (or -ato andc.; in Switzerland Tavate = Davos [Grisons]) that were demonstrably coined as such in Proto-Indo-European (not later than the Chalcolithic period). The same holds true for Mattinata ‹ Daunian *Mātīnāhātā ‹ PIE *H₂/₄mĕh₁-tĭ-h₃n-ŏ-h₁?i̯ăh₂/₄-tắ·h₂/₄ "roads through the tilled ridge" and Parata ‹Peucetian *Părāhātā ‹PIE *Pŏr-ŏ-h₁?i̯ăh₂/₄-tắ·h₂/₄ "passage ways"; the latter one exhibits the same first element as Parabita ‹Messapian *Părăbătă-s ‹PIE *Pŏrŏ-bŏtŏ-s "passing path" (› German Fahrpfad), near which the ancient town of Βαῦστα ‹ *Bŏṷ[hₓ]s-tă·2/4 "swelling" (≠ (*)Bāstā [› Vaste] ‹ *Bʱăh2/4-stă·h2/4 "consecrated place") is probably to be located. Pre-Latin Indo-European etymologies of place-names Sombrino, Tuglie, Collepasso, Vĕrētŭm, Σύβαρις, Lecce, and Bari are added.
