Commentary

Etruscan personal name in -e in the nominative.

The name is suggested not to be etymologically Etruscan by Mangani 1986: 278 due to the apparent suffix -al-, which she associates with Raetic, Ligurian and Lepontic. Similarly vaguely, Colonna in Gambari & Colonna 1988: 154 considers it to be formed with the Lepontic patronymic suffix -al-, but subsequently compares only Ligurian forms, specifically enistale, and the Ligurian toponym *caeva for the base. This account conflates Lepontic patronymic -alo- and the PN-forming -alo- of northern Italy, whose relation to each other is doubtful at best; the name keivale, which finds no comparanda in Etruscan or Gaulish, is thus probably Ligurian, and has no immediate connection with Cisalpine Celtic. Colonna suggests that the later Etruscan gentilicium cevlna at Volterra is derived from this loan name (*keivale-na).
