Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: adj.
Meaning: ἄφωνος H. (Lattes comment is not clear to me.)
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]
Etymology: Cf. μυκός. I see no connection between the two. The first connection seems with μυνδός, which points to a Pre-Greek word (with prenasalisation). Connection with Arm. mownǰ dumb seems obvious, but the conclusion is not clear (Clackson, Relationship 45: *mundi̯o- somewhat dubious; it could well be a substratum word). Pok. 751 does not help.
