Etymology
A relationship to Proto-Slavic *migati (“to blink”) via -ei-/-oi- ablaut because of the phantasms one gets when intaking the plants remains frequently considered. Compare analogues like *omanъ (“elecampane”) and *odolěnъ (“valerian”). Miklosich reconstructs *omęgъ on the basis of frequent nasalized forms in Old Polish and Romanian omeág, but these forms seem secondary.
