*uksi

Reconstructed from a hapax personal name attested in a votive inscription from Egypt of unknown provenance, dated to the first Persian rule of Egypt, i.e. last quarter of the 6th c. – 5th c. (O. Masson 1976a:83).

The attestation follows Adiego 2007a:427, where he questions its definition as a nominative, but this is very probable on contextual grounds (no photograph of this part of the inscription is available). Adiego 2007a:430 cautiously suggested that the personal name Uqsi may also belong here, but this is not the case, see s.v.

From a formal point of view, uksi looks like an adjectival derivative in -i- from *uks. Unfortunately, the meaning of *uks is unknown (see s.v.) and thus, that of uksi, too.
