| General notes | Weber, LUPA and Clauss/Slaby read Sutta and an "Illyrian" origin of the name has been suggested. If reading as Butta is correct, the name is etymologically related to either PCelt. *butā- 'dwelling, place, hut' (EDPC 84) (cf. OIr. both, MW bod) or pace Meid 261 from the PIE root *bhū- 'to hit' (cf. OIr. bibdu 'enemy, guilty') |
