Commentary
From the PIE root *u̯reh₁- 'to find' (IEW: 1160, LIV²: 698); the to-adjective in Celtic lexically in OIr. fríth 'find, foundling' (Irslinger 2002: 252). As an onomastic element in Ogam CIIC 155 akevritti, Gaulish ateuritus, -a, couritus 'X-found', and probably in monothematic and hypocoristic names such as CIL XII 3478 urittonis (dat.), RIIG BDR-12-06 (RIG G-68) ουριττακος, BDR-11-34 (G-62) ουριτ[ (KGP: 301, GPN: 388 f., DLG: 329, Stüber et al. 2009: 266, Delamarre 2007: 31, 76, 206). Forms with tau gallicum (e.g. GAR-14-01 (G-217) ουριθθουριγου) are unlikely to belong here, see Stifter in RIIG.
