Commentary

Base of Gaulish personal names, e.g. duta, dutia, duttius, etc. (AcS I: 1388, Delamarre 2007: 92), also as second element in compounds: CIL XII 4223 menmandutis (theonym, dat. pl.), uadutio, indutio etc. (DLG: 190 f. s.v. indutio-) and possibly lexical in obscure duti on the Chartres defixio. It is doubtful whether all these instances of dut- have the same meaning and etymology, and the original stem class is uncertain. PIE roots from which Celtic dut-/dūt- could be derived (with t-suffix) are collected by Repanšek 2013: 188 f. (discussing duti; cf. also Repanšek 2015). Of the eight candidates, only *deh₂u̯- 'ignite' (LIV²: 104) is securely attested in the Celtic branch, but without metathesis. Repanšek suggests a derivation from *deh₃u̯- (enlarged *deh₃- 'give', LIV²: 107), which is attested, metathetised, in Umbrian -dito- < *duh₃-tó- 'given' (cf. Lambert 2013: 152). A semantically plausible option for the personal names is *dʰeu̯- 'run' (LIV²: 147), cf. rit-, king-. See further the etymologies for indut-.
