#Abbreviation of a name. The sequence ''pou'' appears also in {{w||kulopoui}} ({{#ask:[[Category:Inscription]][[word::kulopoui]]|format=list}}).
The short sequence is most probably an abbreviation of a personal name, though a hypocoristic ''on''-stem is also possible. The base could e.g. be {{m||bou̯-}} 'cow' or, in the first case, also {{m|bou̯d-}} 'victory'. See also {{bib|Tibiletti Bruno 1978}}: 146, {{bib|Morandi 1999}}: 171 f., {{bib|Morandi 2004}}: 554.

Commentary

The short sequence is most probably an abbreviation of a personal name, though a hypocoristic on-stem is also possible. The base could e.g. be bou̯- 'cow' or, in the first case, also bou̯d- 'victory'. See also Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 146, Morandi 1999: 171 f., Morandi 2004: 554.
