[[fan against flies]], [[fly-flap]] (Delos IIIa, Men.), [[μύωψ]] m. <b class="b2">horse-fly; goad, spur</b> (s. v.), <b class="b3">κυνά-μυια</b> f. [[dog-fly]] (s. v.).<br />Derivatives: 1. <b class="b3">μυϊ̃τις</b>, <b class="b3">-ιδος</b> f. = [[θλάσπι]], [[Capsella bursa pastoris]] (Ps.-Dsc.; Redard 71), also <b class="b3">μυιό-πτερον</b> (ibd.), as the separating wall of the fruit was compared with the wing of a fly (Strömberg Pflanzennamen 55). -- 2. [[μυιϊκός]] [[belonging to a fly]] (gloss.), [[μυιώδης]] name of a god in Elis, who was also called <b class="b3">μυί-αγρος</b> "fly-catcher" (Plin.). -- 3. <b class="b3">μυΐνδα παίζειν</b> [[play the game μυῖα χαλκῆ]] (Poll., H.).<br />Origin: IE [Indo-European] [752]<br />Etymology: Formation with ι̯<b class="b3">α-</b>suffix like [[νῆσσα]], [[κίσσα]] and other animals' names (Chantraine Form. 98). Old word for [[fly]], [[mosquito]], found in several languages, but because of its popular character subject to all kinds of transformations. PGr. <b class="b3">*μύσ-ι̯α</b>, from where [[μυῖα]], agrees best with Lith. [[mus-ià]], <b class="b2">mus-ė̃</b> [[fly]] and with Slav., e.g. OCS [[mьš-i-ca]] [[mosquito]]. Beside it with [[k-]]suffix Lat. [[mus-ca]] [[fly]], with [[n-]]suffix Arm. [[mun]], gen. [[mn-oy]] [[mosquito]], if from <b class="b2">*mus-no-</b>. Also an [[s-]]less basis <b class="b2">*mu-no-</b> is possible as a.o. in OWNo. [[my]] n. from PNord. <b class="b2">*mū-i̯a-</b> n. There are also forms with (secondarily developped ?) velar: Germ., e.g. OHG [[mucka]] [[Mücke]], with [[ou-]]diphthong: Slav., e.g. OCS and Russ. [[múcha]] [[fly]] (IE <b class="b2">*mousā</b>) etc., s. WP. 2, 311, Pok. 752, W.-Hofmann s. [[musca]], Fraenkel s. <b class="b2">musė̃</b>, Vasmer s. [[móška]]; everywhere more forms; on the morphology also Specht Ursprung 43, 203 a. 235. -- Onomatop. origin (from the humming) is quite possible, s. e.g. W.-Hofmann. | ||
