Old Armenian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]According to Martirosyan, from Proto-Indo-European *munyo-, a thematization of *muni-; compare Sanskrit मुनि (muni, “ecstatic person, ascetic, hermit (especially one who has taken the vow of silence)”), Czech muňa (“speechless, fool”).
According to Ačaṙyan, from Proto-Indo-European *mundyo- and cognate with Ancient Greek μυνδός (mundós), μύδος (múdos), μυκός (mukós), μυττός (muttós, “dumb”), Latin mutus, Sanskrit मूक (mūka, “dumb”).
In any case probably ultimately going back to sound-symbolic *mū-. See also մրմունջ (mrmunǰ), մուռ (muṙ), մունչ (munčʻ).
