Etymology
The connection with Old Armenianմխեմ(mxem, “to insert; to immerse”) is obsolete and semantically doubtful. The group of Old Norsesmjúga(“to slip in”) and Middle High Germansmiegen(“to nestle”) may theoretically derive from Proto-Indo-European*smewgʰ- like Greek, but the Germanic words may also go back to *(s)mewk- and correspond to Lithuaniansmùkti(“to glide away”). Furnée thinks that this noun is Pre-Greek, but without further arguments. One argument could be the gloss βύσσαλος(bússalos, “depth, abyss”), if it really belongs here; another gloss would be μοχοῖ(mokhoî, “within, inside”), with a vocalic interchange.
