Dan,

Thank you for the info! It looks like I'll have to explore a bit more
but it seems possible that *Nei-to- could be the etymology of the
Iberian-Celtic deity Neto (also recorded as Neton and Neitin).
I apologize for the slow reply, my home internet connection is
temporarily down and I am reliant upon work access.

Sincerely,
Aydan
