The personal name, which is also attested in the Lepontic alphabet {{w||atekua}}, has been subject of debate since {{bib|Rhŷs 1913}}: 52 booked it as an attestation of a q-Celtic variant of {{w||atepa}}. {{bib|Lejeune 1971}}: 68 f. relativised the value of the name as evidence for the retention of the group /{{p||k}}{{p||u̯}}/ (here as in *''eku̯o''- 'horse') in Lepontic (cf. {{bib|Kretschmer 1905}}: 126, Whatmough {{bib|PID}}: 69) by observing that the spelling of the Latin attestation with ⟨cu⟩ rather than ⟨qu⟩ indicates a pronunciation /{{p||k}}{{p||u}}{{p||u̯|<sup>u̯</sup>}}/; the same applies when {{w||atepa}} is analysed as containing as second element *''tek<sup>u̯</sup>''- 'run' with labiovelar. {{bib|Lejeune 1971}}: 59 segmented {{m||ate-}} + ''kuo'' "obscur"; the latter could be compared with the base of the patronym {{w||kualui|ku-al-ui}}, which Lejeune also argued to be bi-syllabic. Alternatively, in ''atecua''/''atekua'', a second element which is an ''u''-stem may best account for the spelling, the evident candidate being {{m||tek-|teku-}} 'beautiful', which may also be attested in {{w||tekialui}}. The preverb may be {{m||ate-}} with haplology or {{w||ad-}} (see {{w||atepo}} for the simple dental), both with intensifying function. Cf. {{tr|lat|ateciae}} in Brescia and {{tr|lat|attecius}} in Dalmatia, which are analysed as ''ad-tek''- by {{bib|Delamarre 2007}}: 28, 32.
''ā''-stem personal name in the nominative; the ending is homophonous in Celtic and Latin, but is probably Latin {{m||-ā (Lat.)|-ā}} in this late and alphabetically Latin attestation.


See also {{bib|Tibiletti Bruno 1978}}: 153, {{bib|Motta 2000}}: 210, {{bib|Eska 2006}}: 232.
