Dear Luisma,

If you examine the Liria ceramics, you will observe that several of the pieces are impressed with what appears to be a circular seal bearing the name Lolegarkoe "sleeper from the flames"?.

What we do not know is who or what Lolegarkoe was. Was he a local potentate, or was he a deity, or was he something else? Certainly, no classical writer mentions him.

lo "sleep", gar "flame" and -ko "pertaining to" all appear as elements in Iberian personal names, but the construction here is unprecedented. And what of the final -e? Is this a plural version of -ko?

Perhaps Lolegarkoe was such an important man that he had to have a special name or title.

With best wishes,

Angus J Huck
