 Sardinia
In Pittau's opinion, Sardian was an IE language and Caralis is related to Greek kholos 'bile', which is from the IE root *g'hel- 'to shine, green, gold, blue'.
But for what seems to be the phonetic features of the Sardian language, it is more likely a derivation from the IE root *ger- 'to gather, put together'.
The Sardinian scholar Pittau believes that the name mentioned by Ptolemy should be corrected in *Sarrapos, from the survival of the name Sarrabus, an historical sub-region, and from the existence of a town at its mouth called probably Sarrapos.
