Commentary

A suffixed element -om- may be posited for one or two personal names on stelae from the Ticino. Holder AcS II: 851 has two potential Celtic examples for such an element (CIL XVI 20 teutomi [Pannonia sup.], CIR 1833 ]uccomi [Ruppertsberg]), but both may be hypocoristic (cf. toutomara in Pannonia inf., Meid 2005: 119); this is indeed also an option for the two Cisalpine cases. A connection with -um- in the area of Brescia (Untermann 1959: 127 (cf. tetumus) is equally uncertain.
