Proto-Celtic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Unknown; claimed to be from Proto-Indo-European *mosgʰos (“marrow”),[1], though this seems semantically difficult. A connection to Old Norse mysa (“whey”), Sanskrit आमिक्षा (āmikṣā, “cottage cheese, cream”), from Proto-Indo-European *meyḱ- (“to mix”)[2] also seems unlikely[3].
