Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Perhaps a conflation of:

  • *mělъ (finely grinded substance, mill) + *-ъkъ, reflecting Proto-Balto-Slavic *mēlˀús, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *melh₂- (to grind, to mill). Akin to Proto-Germanic *mildijaz (mild, tender).
  • the descendant of Proto-Balto-Slavic *máiljus + *-ъkъ, cognate with Lithuanian maĩlius (small fry), Latvian maĩle (bleak (fish)). Possibly from a l-extension of Proto-Indo-European *(s)meh₁y- (to smith, to crush), related to Proto-Slavic *milъ (kind, gentle), *mirъ (peace) and further akin to Old Norse mjór (thin, narrow).
