On the difficult reading Tibiletti Bruno 1979: 257–260 (257), who interprets retalos as a patronym in -al-, pointing to the late appearance of the suffix in NO·18 (Miasino) (thus also Tibiletti Bruno 1981: 167 f., no. 15, Solinas 1995: 372, no. 121). Differently Markey & Mees 2003: 139, who appear to regard kiketu as a patronym in -ū (see The Cisalpine Celtic Languages).
