Status: uncertain
Language: perhaps Celtic
Word Type: proper noun
Semantic Field: patronymic

Stem Class: o

Morphemic Analysis: kuimp-al-ūi̯
Phonemic Analysis: /?????alūi̯/

Commentary

See the inscription page on the reading.

Patronym derived with suffix -al- in the dative. If the underlying personal name kuimpos* is Celtic, it may have either preserved /k/ or rare /g/ < PIE *gu̯h. Alternatively, one might consider ko(m)-u̯impos* with second element u̯imp- 'pretty' (s. DLG: 320), following the method of Delamarre 2007: 78, who analyses the anlaut of names in kua° as ko(m)-u̯at- (CIL XIII 5510 cuatasius [Dijon], cuatilus [Heiligenberg], with u̯ati- 'prophecy'), cf. kuaśoni.
