Word
Language: Raetic
Word type: proper noun

Number: singular

Meaning: '(of/for?) Pianu*'

Attestation: NO-15 (esumnesinuþnualeutikutianus) (1)

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?
