Commentary

See the inscription page on the reading.

The incomplete sequence is most likely a personal name with base u̯os- and suffix -(i)i̯-; the last preserved letter upsilon could represent the on-stem nominative -ū or, typologically more likely, the beginning of the o-stem dative ending -ūi̯. Delamarre 2007: 235, 237) lists the onomastic element u̯osso- as an (archaic) variant of u̯asso- 'servant', but considering the high dating of the inscription the dental element would be expected to be spelled with san reflecting tau gallicum not yet assimilated to /ss/. See also Salomon 2024: 149 f.
