Gothic
Etymology
From π±πΉ- (bi-) + *πΌπ°πΌππΎπ°π½ (*mampjan), from Proto-Germanic *mampjanΔ
(βto mockβ), from the iterative *mump- (βto stainβ), or otherwise from an unattested strong verb *mimpanΔ
. See English mump (βto cheat, deceiveβ), and compare obsolete Dutch mompen (βto deceiveβ).[1]
While Kroonen claims Ancient Greek ΞΌΞΞΌΟΞΏΞΌΞ±ΞΉ (mΓ©mphomai, βI blame, accuseβ) and the Germanic forms are reconcilable, Beekes rejects this, stating that Germanic -p- cannot here correspond to Greek -Ο- and that this etymological connection is not widely considered reliable.[2]
