Commentary
The name toutoriχ, a compond of tou̯ta 'people, tribe' and *rīg- 'ruler, king' meaning 'ruler of the people', is well-known from other Celtic languages, e.g., Gaul. (probable) toutorix, toutiorix (epithet of Apollon) from the derivation toutios 'citizen' DLG: 300, Delamarre 2007: 184), OW tutir, MW tudur (Anglicised tudor), as well as from Germanic equivalents (Goth. þiudareiks etc.).
It is not clear whether final -⟨s⟩ represents the cluster [χs], or whether the non-spelling of [χ] indicates that the cluster had already been reduced to a simple sibilant in this position; cf. ośoris (Stifter in Marchesini & Stifter 2018: 147).
