Proto-Slavic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *mínˀtei. Baltic cognates include Lithuanian mìnti (“to trample, to scutch”), Latvian mĩt (“to trample, to scutch”). Further cognates unclear:
- Derksen says "doubtful whether there are any cognates outside of Balto-Slavic".[1]
- Trubačev proposes Ancient Greek ματέω (matéō, “to trample, to tread”) from Proto-Indo-European *mn̥-tew-oh₂.[2]
- Shansky additionally proposes Irish men (“flour”).[3]
