Proto-Germanic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Uncertain; presumably cognate with Proto-Slavic *mъrky (“carrot”), suggesting Proto-Indo-European *mérkuh₂ ~ *mr̥kwéh₂,[1] however perhaps instead a Wanderwort,[2] compare Proto-North Caucasian *mɨ̆rꝗwă (“root, carrot”).[3] Disputedly related to Ancient Greek βράκανα (brákana, “wild vegetables”), βάκανον (bákanon, “cabbage(-seed)”), otherwise thought to be of Pre-Greek origin.[4]
