Commentary
A suffix -al- appears in personal names in Northern Italy, particularly in the area of Brescia (Untermann 1959: 131–134) and also in Raetic (Untermann 1959: 152, cf. pitale) and Venetic (Untermann 1961b: 123); in Cisalpine Celtic, its attestation is clear in sunalei, but uncertain in kaialoiso. Its relation with the patronymic suffix -al- (if any) is unclear.
