Latin mergae (“pitchfork”) could be related. It seems that the Greek root is related to Sanskrit मार्जयति (mārjayati, “to wipe, purify, cleanse”) and ὀμόργνῡμι (omórgnūmi, “to wipe”), but it is unclear how the initial vocalism coul be explained. Although a derivation from Proto-Indo-European *h₂merǵ- is perfectly possible, the word may also be a technical term borrowed from the substrate language.
