Commentary

The dative plural ending of o-stems is not directly attested in Gaulish, but may be inferred from RIIG MOR-01-01 (RIG L-15) arganntobo, where -o- is transferred from the o-stems (Lejeune in RIG, Lambert 1994: 53). Final -s is not attested in Gaulish, but in Celtiberian (MLH K.6.1 aregoratikubos, K.1.1, A-9 akainakubos).
