Commentary

In light of the two attestations of the theonym poininos in the Carona petrographs, Motta in Casini et al. 2014: 201 is probably right in identifying penini as another variant. Based on his etymology of the name, Motta interprets penin- as the original Celtic form without the diphthong in the root. The ending can be nothing else but a genitive, though the theonym usually appears in the dative, but cf. the nominative poininos at Carona. Cf. also the possible abbreviation pe.
