Commentary
In isolation the most obvious segmentation is pianu-s (benefactive genitive, see context in NO-15), but cp. pianusa, apparently with a base pianus plus a-genitive. In Raetic context, the vocalic auslaut of names makes pianu more likely than pianus, though it may be objectionable to extend this rule from anthroponyms to theonyms. Maybe a case of recutting?
