(Schwyzer 497, Chantraine Form. 380 f.); a velar suffix, prob. without genetic connection with μύρμηξ, is also seen in Lat. formīca `ant' and Skt. valmīka- m. n. `ant-hill'. -- The basis is seen in different forms in many IE languages, mostly with anlaut. m and in-(aus)laut. -u̯-, also with inlaut. -r-: IE *moru̯-ī ̆ in Av. maoiri-, Celt., e.g. OIr. moirb, Slav., e.g. ORuss. morovij; IE * mour-, * meur- in Germ., e.g. OWNo. maurr -n. (PGm. * maura-), OSwed. myra f. (PGm. * meuriōn-). Besides with anlaut. u̯- and inlaut. -m-: Skt. vamrá- m. (cf. valmīka above), thus βόρμαξ, βύρμαξ with β- for Ϝ-; in ὅρμικας a Ϝ- may have been lost. On itself stand Lat. formīca, whose f- however may go back through dissimilation to m- (cf. on μορμώ) and which would then be close to μύρμηξ. -- Further details on this old and popular word with diff. hypotheses on its development in WP. 2, 306f., Pok. 749. W.-Hofmann and Ernout-Meillet s. formīca, Vasmer s. muravéj; also Fraenkel s. marvà, which however because of its deviant meaning ('horse-fly') must be kept apart.Page in Frisk: 2,272-273Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > μύρμηξ
