μωκάομαι

Ancient Greek

Etymology

The following is paraphrased from the entry by Beekes in his Etymological Dictionary of Greek:

Beekes finds obvious to take this verb as an intensive deverbative, suggesting that the rare forms μωκός (mōkós) and μῶκος (môkos) are actually back-formations. He compares intensives like μηκάομαι (mēkáomai) or μῡκάομαι (mūkáomai), but further details are obscure. According to an anonymous source, the word was originally used for a camel, a possible proof of an onomatopoeic origin. Furnée compares μώχεται (mṓkhetai, “to be envious, jealous”), with a different velar, and concludes that the word is Pre-Greek.

See also μῶμος (mômos, “blame, reproach”).
