It's "the most recent", which is not necessarily synonymous with "the
best around" or with "correct", "convincing", etc. Douglas has already
mentioned a few problems with it. Let me just add that a cogent
interpretation of the Negau inscription should account for the <\\\ip>
part as well. Mind you, I'm sympathetic to the idea that we might have
the earliest attestation of a Grimm-shifted Germanic name there, but the
evidence is far from conclusive.
