Commentary

ā-stem personal name in the nominative; grammatically Latin, but the name may be etymologically Celtic. Cf. CIL V 4910 ueci (gen., Bovegno), 6644 uecco, uecati (gen., Pallanza; the inscription also contains a comparandum for moconis), and see u̯ē̆k- on the etymology of the base. Cf. also ueconis. See also Ponti 1896: 158, Ferrero 1897: 60, Rhŷs 1913: 54 f., Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 154, Tibiletti Bruno 1981: 173, Morandi 2004: 568.
