Commentary

Note that the occurrence of this morpheme is highly dubious in the forms in -ke found on slabs of stone from the Bozen/Nonsberg area, all hapax legomena: laseke, maieχe, rileke, pnake (the latter arguably an individual name). The morpheme is also part of verbal nouns in -u, preterites in -ke serving as the basis for both known Raetic forms.
