==Commentary==
Personal name in the dative. Possibly formed with the same obscure (local?) suffix -''om''- which appears to be attested in {{w||teromui}}, in which the base, if etymologically Celtic, could be any in °''rk''-/°''rg''. '''{{bib|Motta 2000}}: 200''' suggests ''terkomui'', cf. e.g. ''dercius'', ''dercinus'', ''dercillus'', {{bib|Delamarre 2007}}: '''?''', {{bib|AcS}} I: 1266 f., {{bib|KGP}}: 192, {{bib|GPN}}: 344. A popular emendation is ''uerkomui'', whose putative base (''u̯erk-om-os''*) can be compared with that of the personal name underlying the patronym {{w||uerkalai}} – see there for analysis options for that base. Alternatively, ''u̯erkomos''* could be analysed as a hypocoristic of a compound in {{m||u̯er-}}{{m||kom-}} (''uercombogios'', ''uerkondaridubnos'', s. option 3 on {{w||uerkalai}}), thus {{bib|Rhŷs 1913}}: 15 f., {{bib|PID}}: 552, {{bib|Tibiletti Bruno 1978}}: 138 and {{bib|Morandi 2004}}: 538 (also ''perkomui'').
