*murhǭ
Runic: ᛗᚢᚱᚺᛟ Pronunciation: /ˈmur.xɔ̃ː/noun · feminine · ōn-stem
Meanings
wild carrot
Etymology
Uncertain; presumably cognate with Proto-Slavic *mъrky (‘carrot’), suggesting Proto-Indo-European *mérkuh₂ ~ *mr̥kwéh₂; however, perhaps instead an indigenous European Wanderwort. A connection to Ancient Greek βράκανα (brákana) (brákana, ‘wild vegetables’), βάκανον (bákanon, ‘cabbage(-seed)’) has been argued but has been disputed; otherwise thought to be of Pre-Greek origin, though given the word's likely Wanderwort status, a connection can still be maintained.
