Commentary
Also attested at Carona (poininos, poinunei, penini) and in Latin inscriptions at the pass sanctuary on the Great St. Bernard; see poininos for a discussion of the name's etymology.
poenino appears in the same form as in two of the oldest inscriptions from the sanctuary (dat. poenino, no.s 18 and 29 in Walser 1984; Wiblé 2008: 94). The diphthong ⟨oe⟩ in the stem is thought to be due to a Roman folk etymology following the association with the name of the poenī (Carthaginians) via Hannibal's crossing of the Alps (Motta 2010: 401 f., Eska & Eska 2022: 163 f.). In light of the Latinised shape of the base, the ending -o is best explained as the Latin dative ending, though a Gaulish dialectal variant of the o-stem dative ending cannot be excluded, in light of a handful of (potential) attestations of dative -⟨o⟩ in Gaulish inscriptions (RIIG BDR-10-01 (RIG G-28) βελεινο, GAR-13-01 (G-216) αδρετ̣ιο̣, GAR-15-01 (G-219) αϐρω̣, and especially L-106 δοβνορηδο and γοβανο from Bern); see the discussion in Eska & Eska 2022: 168–171 (also Aberson et al. 2021: 314 f.). The interpretation of the form as a nominative with loss of final -s (Rubat Borel 2011: 93, Andenmatten & Paccolat 2012: 92, Casini et al. 2013: 161) is possible in principle, but makes no sense in the context of the inscription (cf. Aberson et al. 2021: 314 f.).
