Commentary
See the inscription page on the unclear text structure. The word akitu may be an on-stem individual name in the nominative with base agid- or acid-, see aged- and cf. the Gaulish names agidius, agidia, agidillus, acidi, acidus (Delamarre 2007: 210 et passim, Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2013: 47). Alternatively, the form could be analysed as a 3sg. t-preterite (cf. karnitu) from an otherwise unattested verbal base ag- or ak-, the best candidate being ag- < PIE *h₂eg̑- 'drive, lead' with similar semantical development as in Latin agō: 'conduct, arrange; put, do' uel sim. (cf. ambactos 'servant', DLG: 40 f.), though the Insular Celtic verbs OIr. ag- etc. continue an e/o-present meaning 'drive, conduct; walk' (KP: 189–193, LEIA A-22).
