Proto-Finnic
Etymology
Unclear. Has been compared with Hungarian méreg (“poison”) and Proto-Germanic *markiją (“celery”), both assuming Finnic-internal development from earlier *merkkü (compare *lülü, *süntüdäk). The first comparison suffers from additional phonetic problems,[1], the second from semantic ones.[2] Alternately, Finnic-internal derivation from a root *mür- seen in *mürtüdäk (“to become grumpy, to become sour”) and *müredä (“grumpy”) has been suggested,[3] though no suffix *-kkü exists. If Finnish dialectal myrkkä (“smell”) is also related,[1][2] the immediate derivation would be *mürkkä + *-ü.
