Proto-Slavic

Etymology
  • Per Derksen, Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value) is from *mȃmъ (“deceit”) +‎ *-iti, from Proto-Indo-European *meh₂-mo-, from the root *(s)meh₂- that also underlies Proto-Slavic *majati (“to wave, to beckon”), *mavati (“to wave, to beckon”), *māxàti (“to wave”). See *majati for further etymology. Derksen believes (following a theory of Van Wijk) that the synonymous verb *maniti developed from Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value) by dissimilation, under the influence of *manǫti (“to beckon”), and that the Baltic cognates Lithuanian mõnyti (“to practice sorcery”), Latvian mãnît (“to deceive, to mislead”) are both borrowings from Slavic.
  • Vasmer agrees that Lithuanian mõnyti is a Slavic borrowing but believes that Latvian mãnît is an inherited form. He notes but does not endorse Van Wijk's theory that *maniti is a dissimilated form. He agrees with Derksen that the underlying Proto-Indo-European root is the same as *majati, and adds as cognates Sanskrit माया (māyā́, “magic power, deceit, illusion”), Avestan 𐬨𐬁𐬌𐬌𐬁-‎ (māiiā-), Old High German mein (“lying, deceitful”), Old Norse mein (“damage, unhappiness”), Ancient Greek μῖμος (mîmos, “deceit, focus, magician”). (Derksen instead links Old High German mein with Proto-Indo-European *mey- (“to change”); see *měniti (“to change”).)
  • Trubachev basically agrees with Vasmer, and derives *maniti from *manъ (“deceit, hallucination?”), from the same root *(s)meh₂-.
