- μύκηGrammatical information: f.Meaning: · ἡ θήκη Suid.Other forms: Cf. μύκων σωρός, θημών H., and ἀμύκαρις· πλῆθος, ἅθροισμα H.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin](X)Etymology: Fur. 372 takes the two forms with μυκ- together, which seems quite acceptable, and adds the third, which is slightly less evident. The ἀ- may be evidence for a Pre-Greek word. Pok. 752 gives the word and compares OIc. mūgi `heap', OE mūga `heap, mass', Bayr. Mauche `Auswuchs, Fussgeschwulst der Pferde'. Cf. Grošelj, Živa Ant. 7, 227. Is the word IE? (or rather a non-IE loanword?).
