IVp), also [[μορμύνει]] and <b class="b3">μορμύρει δεινοποιεῖ</b> H. Further the nouns [[μόρμορος]] and <b class="b3">μύρμος φόβος</b>, <b class="b3">μόρμη χαλεπή</b>, [[ἐκπληκτική]] H. PN [[Μόρμυθος]] (like [[Γοργώ]] : [[Γόργυθος]], Leumann Hom. Wörter 155 n. 129); here also ther PN [[Μυρμιδόνες]] ? -- Enlarged verbform [[μορμολύττομαι]] = [[μορμύσσομαι]] (Ar., Pl.. X., Ph.), [[μορμολυξάμενος]] (Gal.) with <b class="b3">μορμολύκ-η</b>, Dor. <b class="b3">-α</b> f. (Sophr. 9, Str.), <b class="b3">-ειον</b> (<b class="b3">-εῖον</b>) n. (Ar., Pl. u.a.) = [[μορμώ]]; also [[μορμορύζω]] <b class="b2">id.</b> (Phot.).<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: Because of [[μύρμηξ]]: Lat. [[formīca]] one might want to connect, <b class="b3">μορμ-ώ</b> through an analogous dissimilation with Lat. <b class="b2">form-īdō</b> [[ghost]]. Further ucertain; prob. like [[Γοργώ]] (s. [[γοργός]]) a reduplicated fornation, which was used originally as terrorizing call (of childrens language?, cognate with [[μορμύρω]] etc. ? WP. 2, 308). The by-forms [[Μομβρώ]], [[Μομμώ]] (H.) show the popular character. From the interjection the as demon interpreted [[Μορμώ]] may have arisen, from there the appellative. On [[Μορμώ]] in the Middle Ages and in recent times Wiener Roman. Forsch. 35, 943 ff. (lingu. unsatistactory, s. Kretschmer Glotta 10, 234 f.). -- Beside [[μορμώ]] there was not only [[μορμύσσομαι]], <b class="b3">-ύνει</b>, <b class="b3">-ύρει</b>, but also <b class="b3">μορμο-λύττομαι</b>, <b class="b3">-λύκη</b>, <b class="b3">-λύκειον</b>; on the expressive <b class="b3">λ-</b>enlargement cf. [[πομφόλυξ]], <b class="b3">πομφο-λύξαι</b> (: [[πομφός]]), [[βδελύττομαι]] (beside [[βδελυρός]] : [[βδέω]]). Dissimilation from <b class="b3">*μορμορύττομαι</b> (cf. [[μόρμορος]]; Schwyzer 258) is also imaginable. The nouns [[μορμολύκη]], <b class="b3">-ειον</b> are rather backfomations. - A connection with Lat. <b class="b2">form-ido</b> etc. seems not obious. The words may well be Pre-Greek. | ||
