| General notes | Regional context, mostly confined to Noricum. LUPA reads Vergill(a)es, but Vergilla is not a frequent Latin name, however. Note the typical -aes - genitive here, cf. Wedenig / De Bernardo Stempel 2007. KGP 291 proposes a different morphological segmentation: *uerc- + hypocoristic suffix -illa- or similar, cf. "viele[ ] Namen des Stammes verc- (...) cf. auch den ON Vercellae usw.". |
