Proto-Indo-European

Etymology

A connection to *h₃meygʰ- (mist, cloud, condensation), with Dutch miggelen preserving the original meaning of to drizzle, is conceivable,[1] though the particulars of the morphology in pre-PIE times are unknown. For the semantics, compare Ancient Greek οὐρέω (ouréō, to produce water, urinate) from Proto-Indo-European *h₁worséyeti (to make (it) rain).

Root

*h₃meyǵʰ-[2][3][4]

  1. to urinate
