Notes: A very widely represented root, and there is no doubt in its archaic character. Most languages also reflect the common EC derivate *hwmĭʒū 'honey' (in some of the modern languages reflexes of these two roots later merged or influenced each other, see above).
The EC-WC comparison see Абдоков 1983, 149. It seems probable, but there are reservations: if the WC form is really related, one must reconstruct *mĭʒ_ŭ with a short final vowel (opposed to -ū in *hwmĭʒ_ū 'honey'); also unclear are the reasons for dropping *m- in PWC.
