Word
Language: Raetic
Word type: unknown


Meaning: unknown

Attestation: BZ-3 (taniun:laśanuale/utiku:terunies:sχaistala), HU-7 (?ẹḳiesiuṭikutanin/metḷainile), NO-2 (tianusataṇ), NO-16 (tianusa/taniun), SZ-16 (laθurusitianusatanin), VR-3 (taniniutikuremieshiratasuvakhikvelisanes) (6)

Commentary

Possibly a noun meaning 'gift' or 'sacrifice'? An adverb? Appears both with and without u in the last syllable, but the occurrence in similar context strongly suggests the two forms to be variants of the same word.
