There are two prevailing theories, based on which velar stop in the word's derivatives was the original:
It is worth noting that these two roots appear to have been confused in various branches (as many of the cognates listed for *meHnk- have alternatively been derived from *meh₂ǵ-, though for all except the Germanic, this is phonetically implausible). It is possible that forms in or derived from κ (such as μακαρία (makaría) and μάσσω (mássō)) are from *meHnk- and suppletive with the forms in γ (such as μαγῆμαι (magêmai)), which would be from *meh₂ǵ-.[1]
