Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: · ἡ θήκη Suid.
Other forms: Cf. μύκων σωρός, θημών H., and ἀμύκαρις· πλῆθος, ἅθροισμα H.
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin](X)
Etymology: Fur. 372 takes the two forms with μυκ- together, which seems quite acceptable, and adds the third, which is slightly less evident. The ἀ- may be evidence for a Pre-Greek word. Pok. 752 gives the word and compares OIc. mugi heap, OE muga heap, mass, Bayr. Mauche Auswuchs, Fussgeschwulst der Pferde. Cf. Grošelj, Živa Ant. 7, 227. Is the word IE? (or rather a non-IE loanword?).
