- μιργάβωρ
- μιργάβωρMeaning: τὸ λυκόφως ... μιργῶσαι πηλῶσαι H.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Against the explanation from μίσγω (μιργάβωρ = Ion. *μισγ-ήως, e.g. Brugmann-Thumb 150), where the gloss on μιργῶσαι, if it belongs here, cannot be correct, objects Kalén Quaest. gramm. gr. 62 ff. (with extensive treatment and lit.), pleading connection with Lith. mirgė́ti `flicker' (thus also Schwyzer 442 n. 5 against 218), Germ., e.g. OWNo. myrkr, acc. myrkvan `dark', PGm. *merku-, *merku̯ii̯a-, and also with ἀμέρδω (the connection with Baltic is improbable). No certain interpretation, but see DELG.Page in Frisk: 2,243
