Attestation: NO·29 (χọθiọṣ) (1)
Status: uncertain
Language: Celtic
Word Type: proper noun
Semantic Field: personal name

Grammatical Categories: nom. sg. masc.
Stem Class: o

Morphemic Analysis: kott-i̯-os (?)
Phonemic Analysis: /kottos/ (?)
Meaning: 'Χoθios'

Commentary

Reading of the final letter uncertain; see the inscription page. If the letter in question is sigma, the form is a masculine PN in the nominative; the identification of the base is difficult due to the uncertain value of theta and chi (see North Italic Script). Gambari 2011: 19 plausibly suggests kott-.
