Commentary

Masculine o-stem individual name in the genitive. If kopenatis is an individual name, the genitive may be patronymic (thus Motta in Casini et al. 2008: 97), although the Lepontic ending -oiso is not elsewhere attested in this function. Considering that the context of the present form is most probably Cisalpine Gaulish, the morpheme may be transferred from Lepontic and used in a way that is untypical of Lepontic, imitating the Gaulish genitival patronyms in -ī.
For the base cf. names in don(n)- in Delamarre 2007.
