Commentary
The sequence is most likely an on-stem personal name in the nominative, possibly an abbreviation. The name lūtū is attested twice more in the Verbano, see lutu and luto. ⟨ou⟩ could denote long /ū/, though one wonders why in that case presumable /ū/ in the base was not also spelled like that; alternatively it may denote a local allophone with a more open pronunciation, or diphthongisation of -/ū/ to -/ou̯/; an orthographic compromise between the vernacular ending -ū and the Latinised ending -ō may also be possible. Cf. inou on the same object as well as uerkou (uel sim.), anatikou and prikou.
