Commentary
See the inscription page on the reading.
The word is most probably a hypocoristic personal name derived from a compound name with first element u̯eni- (Lejeune 1971: 62, n. 190), cf. especially RISt 143 (Flavia Solva) venno. See also Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 144, Tibiletti Bruno 1981: 158, no. 3, Stüber 1998: 108, Motta 2000: 213, Morandi 2004: 526 (no. 11), Salomon 2024: 164 f.
