Proto-Germanic
Etymology
Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *molko- (“leather pouch”) and connected with Ancient Greek μολγός (molgós, “leather bag”). However, Kroonen notes a formal mismatch between the Germanic and Hellenic terms, and suggests that both terms were borrowed from Thracian, or otherwise from some prehistoric Wanderwort.[1]
