Deverbal noun in {{m||-ku}}, amply attested. No Etruscan cognates so far, but the lexical content is likely to be connected with the votive sphere ('donated' vel. sim.). See {{bib|Rix 1998}}: 32 f.
Deverbal noun in {{m||-u}} derived from a preterite form in {{m||-ke|-k-}}, as also attested in Etruscan (e.g. ''aliqu'' 'gift'). ''utiku'' appears in four inscriptions on primary sacrificial objects (i.e. objects with no discernible everyday use, [[IT-5 plaque]], [[NO-3 plaque]], [[NO-15 rod]], [[NO-17 bone point]]), and on four which are associated with ritual ([[HU-7 situla]], [[VR-3 spit]], [[PA-1 spatula]], [[BZ-3 simpulum]]); a meaning pertaining to the sphere of ritual, offering or dedication ('given' uel sim.) is therefore likely (cf. {{w||eluku}}). See {{bib|Rix 1998}}: 31–41, who (p. 38) tentatively suggests a connection with the preterite ''utince'' in the Liber Linteus (LL II D9), which can be argued to indicate an action in the context of a sacrifice. ''utin-ce'' is syncopated archaic Etr. *''uti-ane-ke'', a preterite from a de-nominal base *''uti-ane'', while the Raetic verbal noun would be derived from a preterite formed directly from the root.

Commentary

Deverbal noun in -u derived from a preterite form in -k-, as also attested in Etruscan (e.g. aliqu 'gift'). utiku appears in four inscriptions on primary sacrificial objects (i.e. objects with no discernible everyday use, IT-5 plaque, NO-3 plaque, NO-15 rod, NO-17 bone point), and on four which are associated with ritual (HU-7 situla, VR-3 spit, PA-1 spatula, BZ-3 simpulum); a meaning pertaining to the sphere of ritual, offering or dedication ('given' uel sim.) is therefore likely (cf. eluku). See Rix 1998: 31–41, who (p. 38) tentatively suggests a connection with the preterite utince in the Liber Linteus (LL II D9), which can be argued to indicate an action in the context of a sacrifice. utin-ce is syncopated archaic Etr. *uti-ane-ke, a preterite from a de-nominal base *uti-ane, while the Raetic verbal noun would be derived from a preterite formed directly from the root.
