Origin: IE [Indo-European] [371] * smeug(h)- `smoke'

Etymology: Formation like τρύχω, ψύχω; the late ἀποσμυγέντες, if at all here (s. ab.), is an analogical formation (cf. Schwyzer 760). Beside the primary σμύχω stands in Arm. a noun moux, gen. mx-oy `smoke' from IE *( s)mūkho- (Meillet MSL 8, 294 with Bugge). A close counterpart is Celt. with OIr. mūch, Welsh mwg `fire' (IE *mū̆k(h)-; Fick 2, 218). In Germ. there is a primary verb with diphthong and final IE media, e. g. OE smēocan `smoke, fumigate' (IE * smeug-), beside zero grade smoca m. (IE * smug-on-), smocian ' smoke' (Zupitza Germ. Gutt. 166; on the media in the doubtful ἀποσμυγέντες s. ab.). One adduced further from Balt.-Slav. Lith. smáug-iu, -ti `strangle, string together, plague' (prop. *by smoke?), which prob. must be explained diff. (s. Fraenkel s. v. w. lit.), Russ. etc. smúglyj `dark, brown' (prop. *"the colour of smoke"?; other interpretations possible, s. Vasmer s. v.). Uncertain and ambiguous also two Arm. adj.: murk, gen. mrk-oy `singing' (IE *( s)mugro-[?]), moyg `brown, dark' (IE *( s)mougho-[?]); s. H. Petersson KZ 47, 267. -- WP. 2, 688f., Pok. 971; older lit. also in Bq.
