Commentary

uvamo- < *upamo- meaning highest. 1) This form could be an attestation for the preserving of PIE */p/ as a "labial fricative" (see Eska 1998c: 68-76, Eska 2009: 23, Eska & Evans 2009: 36, Eska & Mercado 2005: 177 fn. 40, KP: 133-134, Lejeune 1978: 111, Schmidt 1980: 181-182, Stifter 2011) 2) Lejeune reads vamo- (<uv-> //) with loss of PIE */p/ (Lejeune 1971: 60-61, 116, cf. Hamp 1974: 13, Prosdocimi 1967: 209-213 (commented by Campanile 1968: 211-212, see also 209), Prosdocimi 1986: 241-242, Dupraz 2015, for difficulties regarding the loss of /p/ in Lep. compare Motta 2000: 198, Schmidt 1980: 182)
kozis < *ghostis. The <z> in kozis is probably the "tau Gallicum phoneme" developed from pie */st/. (see Eska 2009: 24, Eska & Evans 2009: 36, Lejeune 1971: 60-61, 100, 102, Prosdocimi 1967: 209-213, Prosdocimi 1986: 242-245, Tibiletti Bruno 1966b: 315?, cf. Vilagostis (CIL: V 7853), Vilagostius (CIL: V 7729), Velacosta (CIL: V 7853)) see also Lejeune 1971: 51, Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 142, 188, Uhlich 1999: 293, Motta 2000: 197-198, Eska 1998c: 66-67, fn. 12, Meid 1999: 17, Meid 1996: 31f.
