The analysis of naśom as a Celtic adjective 'Naxian', formed from the Greek toponym naxos, determining uinom 'wine' (see there on the question of neuter [nom./acc.] vs. masculine [acc.]) goes back to Lattes 1896: 103 f., who compared saśadis at Voltino for san = /χs/. As noted by Kretschmer 1905: 100, naχsom lacks the suffix -(i)i̯-; Lejeune 1971: 75 compared aśouni and assumed that san could represent a palatalised sound < /ssi̯/, in this case < /χsi̯/ (but see Ś). This, however, requires the suffix form to be unsyllabic /i̯/ naχsi̯om rather than /ii̯/ as expected in the short word form. In 1987: 501, Lejeune alternatively proposed (in essence) a derivation from PIE *h₂ed- 'dry' with privative suffix n̥-h₂d-tom > *natsom 'never running dry'. Similarly, but without reference to Lejeune's second theory, Birkhan 2005: 225–227 also prefers a tau gallicum sound underlying san, and reconstructs *nHd-tom or *nHd-som 'bound, wound' (from the root *neHd- 'to bind, tie' as in OIr. nascaid, MBret. nasca 'id.', see KP: 489), which is formally unassailable (cf. Stifter 2011b: 175 f., n. 22), but see further on the inscription page.
