Commentary
See the inscription page on the reading.
Patronym derived with suffix -al- in the dative. If the underlying personal name kuimpos is Celtic, it could possibly have either preserved /ku̯/ (Eska 2006: 232, n. 7) or rare /gu̯/ < PIE *gu̯h. Alternatively, one might consider a compound with preverb kom- and second element u̯imp- 'pretty' with assimilated /m/ and /o/ (/kuu̯V/- < /kou̯V/- < /komu̯V/) as per Stifter 2003: 240 f. (cf. kuaśoni). See also Salomon 2024: 152.
