Commentary
Etruscan name in the genitive -s. Underlying muθiku is compared to Gaulish names like "Motucus, Moticius, Mottius" by Gambari & Colonna 1988: 154 (also De Simone 1978b: 375, n. 42, Colonna 1998: 261 "un celto-ligure *Motico", Sassatelli 2008: 337 f.). While the sound substitution / compromise spelling of Celtic /o/ with /u/ / upsilon in Etruscan is plausible, most Gaulish names in mot- show a u-stem; /i/ in the stem (as in Colonna's moticius) is in fact not attested. More pertinent comparanda may be a few names in muti-, e.g. RIG M-213 mutinos, CIL XIII 2583 mutilus, see AcS II. 665, Delamarre 2007: 137 – the latter lists AE 1963, no. 164 muutico, whose Celtic derivation is not certain, and an element muto- (p. 227), which may in fact be a better fit for PC *muto- 'penis' than the motu-names (see the morpheme page). Otherwise, muθiku may well be borrowed from an IE language (Celtic, Ligurian, ...), but the lack of exact comparanda forbids a clear pronouncement.
