The attested form is too fragmentary to be amenable to an etymological analysis. The sequence ''-akur-'' does not appear in any other inscription.
The fragmentary sequence cannot be analysed grammatically or etymologically, but a personal name is likely. -''akur''- does not appear in names in any other Cisalpine Celtic inscriptions; it does occur in names from Continental Celtic contexts, such as {{bib|RIG}} L-18 {{tr|lat|dacurdus}}, the potter's name ''acurio'' ({{bib|Osw.}} 3), and assorted names in ''cacur''- ({{bib|AcS}} I: 668 f., {{bib|DLG}}: 96 – from ''cacu''- '?') and ''sacur''- ({{bib|AcS}} II: 1283, secondary from ''sacro''-?), though none of them are obviously Gaulish. Cf. also the (possibly Germanic) theonym {{bib|CIL}} XIII 8166, 8167 {{tr|lat|bacurdo}} (Köln).

Commentary

The fragmentary sequence cannot be analysed grammatically or etymologically, but a personal name is likely. -akur- does not appear in names in any other Cisalpine Celtic inscriptions; it does occur in names from Continental Celtic contexts, such as RIG L-18 dacurdus, the potter's name acurio (Osw. 3), and assorted names in cacur- (AcS I: 668 f., DLG: 96 – from cacu- '?') and sacur- (AcS II: 1283, secondary from sacro-?), though none of them are obviously Gaulish. Cf. also the (possibly Germanic) theonym CIL XIII 8166, 8167 bacurdo (Köln).
