| General notes | *at(e)-uor(e)to- with syncope of e both in the first and second compound member. *uoreto- itself is a compound form *uo- 'sub' and *reto- 'run'. Differently: at(e)-uorto- with *uorto- being the Celtic o-grade variant of *uerto- as in Lat. vertere, cf. KGP 293. Alternatively, a morphological segmentation as *at(e)-uor(o)-to- is possible, too. For the second element cf. NPC 237: *uoro-. |
