You are correct. After having the submitter return to their research
they forwarded the following URL:
http://www.panix.com/~mittle/names/tangwystyl/pictnames/pict3_4.html#section3
If you scroll down this article to the section "B. The Roman Era (and
Latinate Constructions in General)" and continue to the list under
the point "1. Given Names", then you will find two lists under this
point. The second, longer list contains a name marked as a feminine
form which is "C[uno]vinda".
So, what the submitter is considering (after comments) is a name in
the form "C[uno]vinda ingen Chainnigh". (The patronymic comes from
Magnus' post on this name.) I freely admit to not being a name
person. With this better documentation of the correct spelling/given
name and a period patronymic taken from Magnus' comments, how sayeth
the list? Is there enough to make a submission attempt?
Considering, as Magnus wrote, that "Reading Tangwystyl's article
makes me think there is no wierdness
combining Pictish and Gaelic because of the strong Gaelic influence
on names", I am inclined to try.
Also, can someone tell me what the "[uno]" represents? Is it Da'uded
text for something?
