| General notes | Either hypercorrect writing of a nasal in the second compound member (but cf. the opposite in Adiatullus < *Ad- iantu- (u)llo- or Adnamatus < *Ad- + namanto-), although we would not expect a nasal here at all: the verbal root is uic- in Celtic, without n-infix; Or simply latinised etymon Celtic *uico- 'to fight' ->->-> Lat. vincere 'to win over' ? |
