{{bib|Morandi 2004}}: 664 f. (no. 225) (also {{bib|Morandi 2003|2003}}: 132 f., no. 14, {{bib|Morandi 2007}}: 299, no. 26) compares ''ciamos'' and ''ciamilus'' (also ''ciamonus'') listed in {{bib|AcS}} I: 1009. These names are probably (spelling?) variants of names in {{m||gi̯am-}} 'winter' (cf. ''giamos'', ''giamillus'', ''giamonius'', {{bib|DLG}}: 178 f., ''giamicius'' on a 1<sup>st</sup> c. Roman stela from Casalzuigno, Varese, {{bib|Sartori 2009}}: 218, VA18.02). The mechanics of /k/- vs. /g/- are unclear; cf. maybe {{w||kia}}?
