Abstract
The hapax legomenon QIEMONI found on a recently discovered Roman tombstone from Ig (present-day Slovenia) is analysed from the view-point of epigraphy, onomastics, morpho(phono)logy, and word formation in order to yield or else fail to provide a potentially interesting addition to the PIE lexicon. The sequence is argued to most likely stand for a masculine personal name *Quiemonis, continuing a virtual *kuieH1-mon-(i)o- to PIE *keH1- ‘(have a) rest’. This rather obvious etymological analysis, however, raises several more or less tangential questions, both at the level of Proto-Indo-European as well as with reference to the prehistory of the individual Indo-European linguistic systems in question.
