General noteshaplology of *Leuco-camulus > Leucamulus; diphthong eu looks at first glance non-Celtic, but might be just the Latin way of writing of a sound /ou/ or similar. Thus claiming Celtic origin for this name is not in conflict with the PCelt. collapse of *eu- and *ou-diphthongs as long as we do not know with certainty how was pronounced.
