Commentary

o-stem personal name in the dative; the base terom-/derom- finds no comparanda in Transalpine Gaulish (cf. Lejeune 1971: 65, n. 225 "obscur"). If Celtic, -om- would appear to be a suffix added to a base t/dē̆r- (thus Motta 2000: 199), cf. maybe ]rkomui and teutomi (gen.) in Pannonia (Delamarre 2007: 181; with interference from a local IE language? s. Meid 2005: 293 f.). Forms like derus, derro, derulo, which are taken from Holder (AcS I: 1267–1270) and often compared for the base (e.g. Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 139, De Marinis & Motta 1991: 222, Motta 2000: 199), are isolated and mostly associated with the Iberian area (Aquitania). Cf. possibly terialui (dubious reading).
