Some linguists, like Max Leopold Wagner (1931), Blasco Ferrer (2009, 2010) and Arregi (2017) have attempted to revive a theoretical connection with Basque by linking words such as Sardinian "idile" "marshland" and Basque "itil" "puddle"; Sardinian "ospile" "fresh grazing for cattle" and Basque "hozpil" "cool, fresh"; Sardinian "arrotzeri" "vagabond" and Basque "arrotz" "stranger"; Sardinian "golostiu" and Basque "gorosti" "holly"; Gallurese (Corso-Sardinian) "zerru" "pig" (with "z" for and Basque "zerri" (with "z" for [s). Genetic data have found the Basques to be close to the Sardinians.
