[edit]Reconstruction notes
[edit]- There is some confusion with *(h₂)mey- (“to change, exchange”). Whether they are truly two unrelated roots is debated. See de Vaan (2008:399) for some discussion. This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term.
- The sense “to send away, remove” may have developed out of “to give in exchange”.[1]
