Rix (1998: 19) compares Venetic Es 32, 94 frema (Untermann 1961 I: 147), which is connected by Pellegrini/Prosdocimi (1967 II: 94f.) with Lat.fremo, suggesting a derivation from IE *b h rem-'growl, roar'.Schumacher (2004: 316), assuming that Raetic phi denotes not a fricative, but a lenis, argues that the name came into Raetic not from Venetic, but from another (unattested) Indo-European language in which the name had anlauting b.
