The second element could thus be {{m||ret-}} 'run, race' (rather than {{m||rēd-}} 'ride, drive'), but the function of -''a''- is unclear. Alternatively, ⟨u⟩ could reflect both the stem vowel and anlauting ''u̯''- of a second element *''u̯ar''-, which is sporadically attested in Gaulish onomastics (see {{bib|Delamarre 2007}}: 235 and cf., unlikely, {{w||uarsileos}}) – {{m||kint-|kintu-}}''u̯ar''{{m||-et-|-et}}{{m||-os}}? The analysis of the second part as "deformed" {{w||ateratos}} suggested by Casini & Motta (ibid.) is not plausible.
