Commentary
ā-stem personal name in the dative. While the ending is clearly Celtic, and the suffix may be, the base is not etymologically Celtic. A fully Celtic etymology is attempted by Rhŷs 1913: 65 f., who notes that a suffix -ūto- is listed by Holder AcS III: 56 and compares the base with Gaul. *sap- 'fir/pine' reconstructed from Latin and Romance loanwords ('little pine'). /s/ between base and suffix, however, poses a problem, both in terms of the formation and because */ps/ > /ks/ in Celtic. While saps- thus cannot be Celtic, sab-s- could be in principle, but is no more convincing; a base sab- is more common in the Ligurian than the Celtic area (see sabi) and may indicate the origin of a non-Celtic base 'sabs-.
