Commentary

First segmented and identified as an enclitic coordinating conjunction by Torp 1897: 4 and Kretschmer 1905: 100, -pe < PIE *-ke remains the only securely attested conjunction in Cisalpine Celtic. As noted by Lejeune 1971: 79 f., -pe with /k/ > /p/ corresponds to Celtiberian -kue and Italic forms (Latin -que, Faliscan -cue, Venetic -kve) in free use, while Transalpine Gaulish only attests incorporated apocopated -k (with /k/ > /k/ in word-final position) in RIIG CDO-01-19 (RIG L-13) etic < h₁eti-ke (also at Chamalières), booking the form (p. 114) as a specifically Lepontic one (cf. De Hoz 1992: 228, Eska 1998: 7). See also Matasović 2009: 175 f.
