Ancient Greek[edit]
Alternative forms[edit]
- μόρμυλος (mórmulos)
Etymology[edit]
According to Strömberg, from μορμύρω (mormúrō, “to roar and boil”), if the fish meant here would properly be the "bubble-blower". The connection with μύρω (múrō, “to flow, trickle”) is not convincing. Beekes does not dismiss a Pre-Greek origin.
