Commentary
The implosive nasal before a consonant is almost never written in Lepontic script, therefore it has to be read kui(n)tos, cp. piuotialui, anokopokios, arkatokomaterekos vs. piuonta, anteśilu (for phonetic discussion cp. Uhlich 2007: 390-391, Lejeune 1971: 381 fn. 69, fn. 68, Whatmough 1933: II 592). In the inscription NO·21.1 we can recognize romanization: this son of Dan(n)otalos has obviousely a Latin name (Quintus) and also a roman title (legatus). (Lejeune 1971: 23, 25, 40-41, cp. Eska 2006: 232 fn. 7, Uhlich 2007: 387). Another interpretation is given by Meißner (2004: 98-100), he derives kuitos from Cintu- "the first". See also McCone 1996: 5.
