The attested form is too fragmentary to be amenable to an etymological analysis. The sequence ''kri'' doesn't appear in any other inscription.
The short sequence is most probably an abbreviation of a personal name. Gaulish names with bases in ''kri''° (e.g. ''krito''- 'tremble, terror', ''krikso''- 'curly', see {{bib|DLG}}: 129 f.) are considerably more common than ones in ''gri''° (see {{bib|AcS}} I: 1166–1172, 2041 f., {{bib|Delamarre 2007}}: 77 f., 105 f.). See also {{bib|Morandi 2004}}: 555.

Commentary

The short sequence is most probably an abbreviation of a personal name. Gaulish names with bases in kri° (e.g. krito- 'tremble, terror', krikso- 'curly', see DLG: 129 f.) are considerably more common than ones in gri° (see AcS I: 1166–1172, 2041 f., Delamarre 2007: 77 f., 105 f.). See also Morandi 2004: 555.
