Commentary
on-stem personal name in the dative. Eska 2006: 232, n. 7 (also Eska & Evans 2009: 36) suggests that a subset of the names in ⟨kuV⟩ in Cisalpine Celtic (cf. kualui, kuimpalui), unless they have rare /gu̯/ < PIE *gu̯h, could preserve the labiovelar /ku̯/ before the change to /p/ (considering the late loss of inherited *p as indicated by uvamokozis), which, however, does not generate any convincing etymologies in the present case. Alternatively, ⟨kua⟩ could reflect preverb kom-+u̯a°- with assimilated /m/ and /o/ (/kuu̯V/- < /kou̯V/- < /komu̯V/ as per Stifter 2003: 240 f. (cf. kuimpalui), cf. Delamarre 2007: 78, who analyses the anlaut of names in kuat° (e.g. CIL XIII 5510 cuatasius) as ko(m)-u̯at- with u̯ati-/-u- 'prophet/prophecy'. Pace Salomon 2024: 152, u̯ati-/-u- plus a dental suffix to account for the spelling with san cannot be the second element in kuu̯aðū, as the element is not attested with tau gallicum in auslaut; in fact, /t/ in the Celtic root may itself be the reflex of a dental suffix (see Irslinger 2002: 98–100). Instead, kuu̯aðū could be a hypocoristic from a compound *ko(m)-u̯asso- before the assimilation of *st (or intermediate cluster) to /ss/. Cf. Prósper & Medrano Duque 2022: 22, who suggest *ko(m)-ad-sth₂-ó- 'ready', comparing a potter’s name cuasus (as in Tibiletti Bruno 1997: 1019, n. 45, Motta 2000: 199, Morandi 2004: 534) and coaso, with etymological /o/ being pronounced as a high back schwa and variously reflected with omicron or upsilon in writing.
