==Commentary==
Masculine personal name, ''o''- or ''i̯o''-stem, in the genitive. {{bib|Morandi 2004}}: 605 (no. 121) compares {{w||alaukos}}/{{w||alauki}} as well as Celtib. ''elaukos'' (Botorrita II 2.17), though it is not clear how the different anlauts could relate to each other. What appears to be a suffix -''auk''-, presumably a variant of the velar suffix (see {{m||-āk-}}, {{m||-ik-}}, {{bib|Russell 1990}}: 13) occurs in Gaulish personal names like ''acauco'', ''albeauca'', ''auaucia'', ''caiaucus'', ''caltaucus'', ''donnaucus'', ''gaiaucus'', ''senaucos'', ''uatiaucus'' ({{bib|Delamarre 2007}} passim). Celtib. ''elaukos'' is analysed as ''el-au̯o-k-os'' with syncopated ''o'' by Untermann ({{bib|Beltrán 1996}}: 117, 136, comparing ''elauus'' in Latin inscriptions from Spain); the suffix syntagma -''au̯o-k''- makes a plausible potential source for -''auk''. The base could be the well-attested, though etymologically unclear Celtic onomastic element {{m||il(l)-}} ({{bib|DLG}}: 189), though the latter appears more commonly as an ''i''-stem ''il''(''l'')''io''-/-''a'' (and both other potential attestations in Cisalpine Celtic {{w||ila(}}, {{w||ilus}} are doubtful).
