Andarta

Inscriptions invoking her name have been found among the Vocontii in Southern France, and in Bern, Switzerland.

[2] According to linguist Blanca María Prósper, however, "this idea is uncompelling because the semantics lack good parallels and the inner syntax of the compound is utterly problematic."

In her view, the name should be translated as 'Well-fixed, Staying-firm', formed with a prefix *h₂ndʰi- (or *h₁ndo-) attached to a participle *-h₂-rtó ('fixed, composed, built'; cf.

Sanskrit ṛta 'cosmic law, order', Greek artús 'arrangement', Latin artus 'joint').
