Attestation: VA·23 (etu), VR·19 (koliuetu) (2)
Status: uncertain
Language: Celtic
Word Type: prob. proper noun
Semantic Field: prob. personal name

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

Morphemic Analysis: ēt-ū (?)
Phonemic Analysis: /ētū/ (?)
Meaning: 'Etu' (?)

Commentary

Reading of both possible attestations uncertain, see the inscription pages.

If not a chimera, the form is most likely a hypocoristic masculine ū-stem personal name from a compound name with first element ēt- 'pasture, land'.
