And maybe it's a mystery because the language connects to an older civilization that was overthrown by people who now speak the newer "latinized" language and they were never taught that history, just the lies.
Yes, as I told amazingly Iberian language remains unknown and there's no official career degree. Totally bizarre (as if it's one of "those" questions, powers TPB doesn't want to go too far, including basque nationalist politics).
I celebrate the brilliant focus on this thread, as it was inevitable to relate ancient nations to the futhark oggham iberian etc, etc old runic (pictogram in fact) symbols.
Sometime somewehere this pictogram scheme turned to proto-phoenician alphabet. So an ancient language more complex that could even be read in every direction (left to right, right to left, making a matrix, from above to below, etc, and keeping a coherence).

Turning to basques,
You see this idea of Iberian peninsula and the meaning of iberians as "free people", comes to me in different angles.
Iberia=I berriak
aberri (fatherland) eguna (day)- basque nation fest day
en.wikipedia.org
Meaning berri not new but in another sense -aberri- (nation, linking nation not to a place or territory but a group of people).
Another point of view, basque in basque language (Euskera) it's known Euskadi it's the name of this little region in the north of Spain besides France (South France there has some basques either -Aquitaine- or Basque-French country).
What does it mean
EUSKADI?. I'm not philologist but a close interpretation should be something like "we govern ourselves"
Eus (we, to us)
Kadi (leadership, governance).
Definition of alcaide from Dictionary.com, the world’s leading online source for English definitions, pronunciations, word origins, idioms, Word of the Day, and more.

en.wikipedia.org
The word Kadi, it's related to arabic Al-Kaide (maybe even Al-Qaeda has some relationship but this is very distorted in political and secret services games). Al-Qaeda (The Base) would be here the Council.
Alcalde or Alcaide (in spanish chief of the city council or Major), Cadiz (spanish city in Andalusian region). Probably it's related to the word (large cane or wand of the major, as a symbol of governship, civil or sacred).

Egyptian crook (In spanish Cayado, or cane shephard).

Did you notice the sephard cane, correlated to Sepharad?

Again, cane as KADI.
one who waits about for odd jobs; one who assists a golfer especially by carrying the clubs; a wheeled device for conveying things not readily carried by hand… See the full definition

So EUS-KADI (we govern ourselves).
So Euskadi (Basque country) it seems comes from this (I have the cayado wand , or I govern myself) what has been a constant in the recently or modern history of Spain (large autonomy).
The real name is Euskadi (what it's really linked to ancient iberians), Basque it's a more modern term (maybe related to a sort of people's army -Bashkir-).
Just observe in basque tradition, the wellcoming dance (aurrezku), resembles a sort of very old rite related to horses. (unbraving horses and the dangerous kicking).

There's even another interesting linking from basques and America recolonisation, as Spain took lots of basque people (not only being good sailors), but mainly as people who knowing a bit of this ancient language (euskera or basque), it seems they had better skills to understand native american languages.
My intuition perceives that in ancient world, I don't know how and why, Iberia was a sort of refugee and it was like Americas was in the 17th-Century for europeans, a land to escape out of religious wars and prosecutions, for Iberian case a land for rebel slaves.
Even maybe latin word Libero (free man), comes from L'Ibero (Iberian). So a territory with a great mix of blood, but one original population that seems very linked to RH- in north spain and basques (iberians) mostly.
Lábaro has the same consonant frame.
Same word used for first country founded with free slaves (Liberia).
