Commentary

Reading uncertain in all three attestations, see the inscription pages.

All three potential attestations come from the same necropolis; the sequence is interpreted as an abbreviation for uini (also from that necropolis) by Morandi 2004: 602 (no. 117), 607 (no. 126), though a numeral 6 or a non-script mark cannot be excluded. The sequence ui- also appears in uin, uinoc, uisa, uitilios/uitili, uiro, uiru, and the noun uinom.
