Frisk Etymological English
Grammatical information: m.
Meaning: dormouse (Opp. K. 2, 574).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin](X)
Etymology: Fick, GGA 1894, 241, proposed *μυ-ωκ-ι̯ος prop. "who shuts his eyes", verbal governing comp. of μύω sut and the word for eye, IE *ōkʷ-, with ι̯ο-suffix and ev. lengthening in compounds; but this would have given -σσ-, not -ξ-. Wrong Prellwitz s.v. (μῦς + χθών?). -- Not quite clear ist μυωξία, by H. and Suid. glossed with ὑβριστικὸς λόγος, after Suid. also = mouse-hole, μυωπία (s.v.); if right, the 1. member must be μῦς. However, if the last explanation is correct, the connection with μύω shut cannot be correct. - I rather think that the word is Pre-Greek. Cf. μόροξος.
