Cym, Irish: Southwind
Dexsiua is a goddess known from inscriptions at Le Castellar-de-Cadenet, Alpes de Haute-Provence, France (CIL XII 1062 to 1064, incusive and AE 1992,1170) and Pertuis, Vaucluse, France.
Though nothing is known of this goddess' function and attributes her name seems to derive directly from the proto-Celtic root dexs(i)wo- (right, south) and she may be a goddess of the the warm southerly winds.
