The Tocharian B word akeññe may have referred to people of Agni, with a derivation meaning "borderers, marchers". [16] One of the Tocharian A texts has ārśi-käntwā as a name for their own language, so that ārśi might have meant "Agnean", though "monk" is also possible. [17]
The texts were written in Gandhari Prakrit, but contained loanwords of evidently Tocharian origin, such as kilme ("district"), ṣoṣthaṃga ("tax collector"), and ṣilpoga ("document"). This hypothetical language later became generally known as Tocharian C; it has also sometimes been called Kroränian or Krorainic. [47]

For Welsh, normally the modern form is given, but occasionally the form from Old Welsh is supplied when it is known and displays important features lost in the modern form.
The only other well-known major branch with no living descendants is Tocharian, whose attestation ceases in the 8th century AD. While Pisidian inscriptions date until the second century AD, the poorly-attested Isaurian language , which was probably a late Luwic dialect, appears to have been the last of the Anatolian languages to become extinct.
