As far as I know, *arganto- is not attested in Celtiberian, only
$ilabur. Perhaps there were several Celtic dialects in Iberia, but
the attested Celtic inscriptions are all known as "Celtiberian" (the
inscriptions that are clearly different are non-IE [Tartessian and
Iberian] or IE but non-Celtic [Lusitanian]).
