Final -⟨ou⟩ is most likely a Greek-influenced spelling for the on-stem nom. sg. ending -ū as in Gallo-Greek (cf. Marinetti & Prosdocimi 1994: 44 f.), unless it reflects an actual diphthongisation of -ū to -ou̯; an orthographic compromise between the vernacular ending -ū and the Latinised ending -ō may also be possible – cf. inou and lutou at Ornavasso and the coin legends NM·9 anatikou and NM·13 prikou for further discussion. For the etymology of the base u̯erk-, cf. uerkalai.
