Perhaps we should also relate to this root Lak. jaj 'a k. of grass' (пажитник) and Khin. jenje-č 'caraway' (if these forms can be traced to an intermediate structure *HinHV < *HimHV).

    The root *HmĭɦwV probably served as basis for deriving PEC *miɦwVrV 'a k. of odorous grass' (q.v.), which perhaps in this case should be reconstructed as *HmĭɦwV-rV.

    See Abdokov 1983, 98 (containing also a suggestion of a possible etymological connection between *HmĭɦwV 'smell' and PEC *mɨ̆ɦwVlV 'nose' q.v.).
