(AP)Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: One connects μόροττον ἐκ φλοιοῦ πλέγμα τι, ᾦ ἔτυπτον ἀλλήλους τοῖς Δημητρίοις H., but it is uncertain whether the noose was made of bark (on the word Fur. 341).

Wb. 2, 119. - If the gloss on βρυγχός, which has not been earlier observed, is reliable, the prenasalization shows Pre-Greek. - Not to βρέχω, nor to μέρμις.Page in Frisk: 1,272
