Commentary
See the inscription page on the doubtful reading.
Final -⟨ou⟩ is most likely a Greek-influenced spelling for the on-stem nom. sg. ending -ū as in Gallo-Greek (cf. Marinetti & Prosdocimi 1994: 44 f.), unless it reflects an actual diphthongisation of -ū to -ou̯; an orthographic compromise between the vernacular ending -ū and the Latinised ending -ō may also be possible – cf. the coin legends NM·9 anatikou and NM·13 prikou for further discussion. The name, if the reading is correct, is a hypocorism derived with the suffix -ik-. A base u̯ed- is not common in Gaulish onomastics; cf. uedia, uediacus, uedius, ued[-]ic[ (Delamarre 2007: 192). Etymologically, it could be u̯ēd- from PIE *u̯ei̯d- 'see' (not attested in Gaulish) or u̯ed- from PIE *gu̯ʰedʰ- 'ask, wish' (in Gaul. L-100 uediiumi).
