Munidis the Hill-Watcher

Name leads with the English phrase 'the Hill-Watcher', reflecting the *men-/*mon- ('hill') etymology; the rival 'warning' (Latin moneo) derivation is recorded above. Attested form Munidi/Munis. Listed by scholars among the core Lusitanian deities (with Bandua, Reve, Arentius-Arentia, Quangeius, Trebaruna, Nabia). Gender uncertain but usually treated as a goddess. Known only from epigraphy.
