Commentary

Patronym in -(i)i̯- from a name uipos or ui(m)pios.

The identification of the base is rendered difficult by the wealth of comparanda for the different possible readings of ⟨uip⟩. The arguably best candidate is the old Latin praenomen uibius, which is attested as a father's name uibi f. in the Latin inscription no. 13 from the same find place as BI·6 (possibly also in no. 40; see Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2013) and in other Roman inscriptions in the Piemonte area (see Untermann 1960: 286 and 1961: 12 f. with map 26); cf. maybe the Latin praenomen lukios used as an individual name at the same find place. From an inner-Celtic perspective, the most attractive choice is u̯imp- 'pretty', under the assumption that (*)/m/ could be suppressed in spelling before /p/. A third, but less pertinent comparandum is the on-stem uipio in a Latin inscription at the same find place (no. 45 in Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2013), compared by Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2013: 44, 150 – ui(p)- is not well attested in Gaulish (see Delamarre 2007: 201 and difficult to etymologise – possibly a variant of u̯ep- 'voice'? cf. sipiu, sinus.
