== Commentary ==
Raetic individual name in -{{p||e}}, attested only once in this form (Magrè). Conceivably a variant of {{w||lasta}} (Sanzeno), with variation in the writing of the dental (see [[index::The Raetic language]]) and in the auslaut. The latter is best explained as the result of different approaches to adapting a foreign name to Raetic. Auslauting -{{p||e}} in ''lasθe'' might simply be the typically Raetic name auslaut substituted for a foreign one, or the Latin vocative ending ({{bib|Untermann 1961}} I: 111 (n. 195, 180) postulates a base *{{w||lastus}} for {{w||lastulus}} (Vicenza); {{bib|Schumacher 1998}} adds a hypothetical Venetic *{{w||lastos}}). Alternatively, ''lasθe'' (fitting in with the two-syllable names prevalent in Raetic) might be an original Raetic name, borrowed into Venetic, with the Venetic variant being attested in Sanzeno. Cp. also {{w||lauste}}.
