Commentary
Interpretation:
- < *an(de)- tetsi- / *ande-tessi-il(l)o (Lejeune 1971: 54, 381 fn. 68, fn. 69, Motta 2000: 215, Tibiletti Bruno 1965d, Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 144, Tibiletti Bruno 1981: 159-160, cp. Uhlich 2007: 390-394, DLG: 45-46, 294-295, Stüber 1998: 108, Delamarre 2007: 23, 234).
ande- like in Ogam ANDAGELLI, Gaul. Andecombogius, Andecamulos, Andegenus (Motta 2000: 215, CIIC 433, DAG: 136, 163, 177, Holder 1896-1907: I 139, KGP: 126, GPN: 136-138); for the variant ando- see anokopokios, Andolatius (Motta 2000: 215, DAG: 83; for Celt. names on tess(i)- see Holder 1896-1907: II 1801, KGP: 278). - < *and(e)-te(φ)sti- < *tepsti- meaning "heat" (Stifter 2010: 370, DLG: 294f).
- < *an-tets- with privative an- (Uhlich 2007: 391-394).
Likely cognates with tau Gallicum:
- CIL 12, 5690,9 (Saint-Jean-le-Garguier, Gallia Narbonensis): C Antess|I Patern(i)
- Old British Antedrigus, Anteθri, Anted(θ)rigou etc. (Holder 1,159)
- perhaps CIL 3, 14 (p. 967) (= CIL 3, 6581 = Kayser 106 = D 2543; Alexandria, Aegyptus): Antesstius Numisianus
Notes:
- Cp. Antessus (Morandi 1999: 167, CIL: XII, 5690, 9).
- Unlikely for the Lep. orthography the pre-consonantic <n> is written (cp. piuotialui, kuitos, see Motta 2000: 215, Lejeune 1971: 54 fn. 136, Tibiletti Bruno 1981: 160), Uhlich 2007: 390.
- Patronymic/diminutive suffix -il-? see Markey & Mees 2003: 143, Lejeune 1971: 66.
- De Hoz 1990: 322 analyses the word as a gen. sg. o-stem (for critique see Eska 1995: 35). Ending -u is frequent in Lepontic inscriptions (cf. Morandi 1999: 167, fn. 57, Tibiletti Bruno 1965c: 84-105, Falkner 1948: 39-54, musu, atlatu (from the Insubrian and Cenoman area)).
