Commentary

Etruscan personal name in -e in the nominative, suggested to be an Etruscanised Ligurian name by Gambari & Colonna 1988: 154. Though Colonna considers it to be formed with the Lepontic patronymic suffix -al-, he subsequently compares only Ligurian forms, specifically enistale, and the Ligurian toponym *caeva for the base. The l-suffix is altogether more likely to be the PN-forming -al- 2, so that the name has no immediate connection with Cisalpine Celtic. Colonna suggests that the later Etruscan gentilicium cevlna at Volterra is derived from this loan name (*keivalena).
