Min  minne,, ‘remembrance, recollection, toast.’  mind, from  mynd, is also connected with the same root man, men;   muns, ‘meaning.’ These belong to the common Aryan and also  root men, man, ‘to think’;   μένος, ‘temper, disposition,’ μιμνήσκω, ‘I remember,’  memini, reminiscor, mens, moneo,  root man, ‘to opine, believe, think of, purpose’;   and.   ,, from the  minze,  minza, , ‘mint’;   minte, ,  mint; borrowed previous to the  permutation of consonants from the   mentha, menta ( μίνθα), at the same period as the other terms relating to horticulture and the art of cookery; see. The variants, munza,  münze, , have a remarkable form, and cannot be explained by the  word;.  ', ', ‘mis-, dis-, amiss, wrong,’ in compounds; from misse-,  missa-, missi-, which express the perversity or failure of an action;   missadêþs ( missitât,  and  missetât), ‘sin,’ missataujands, ‘sinner,’  missa-, for *miþtó- ( ‘lost’), is an old to-  from the root miþ (see );   mí, ‘amiss.’ Hence the derivative. ,, from the  and  mischen,  misken, ‘to mix’;   miscian,  to mix. In the other languages a corresponding  is wanting. The agreement with misceo (miscere), ‘to mix,’ is evident. The only question is whether the word was allied or was borrowed; that is difficult to determine, since, judging by sound and sense, both are possible. The assumption that the word was borrowed is supported by the loan-words relating to the culture of the vine, which are quoted under. On the other hand, the languages have instead of miscere a derivative misculare ( méler,  to  misculôn,  mište); yet   mescere. On the supposition that the word was primitively allied, which is supported by, we should have to compare, in addition to the term,  μίσγω (σγ  to  sk?), μίγνυμι, the  root miç in miçrá-s, ‘mixed,’  měsiti, ‘to mix,’  mìsti, ‘to mingle’ (maísz-tas,  ‘riot’). Hence misceo, and, if  is  allied to it,  miskja represent a pre-historic mik-skejo (with sk as a suffix of the  stem, like  for pre-historic *forhskôn;   and ). .  ,, from the  mispel, with the variants mespel, nespel,   mespila, , ‘medlar,’ with the variant nespila. From mespila, whence also, with the change of the initial m into n., the corresponding  cognates ( nespola,  nèfle). The ultimate source is μέσπιλον, ‘medlar.’  ,, ‘to be without, do without,’ from and  missen, ‘to miss’;   missan,  to miss, and the   missa;  *missjan is wanting. It is clearly connected with West mîþan, ‘to avoid,’ which is related to an old  missa- (for *miþta- with -tó-), meaning ‘avoided, frustrated’;   and.  ,, ‘excrement, dung,’ from and  mist, , ‘mud, manure, dunghill’; it represents *mihst, like  forskôn, ‘to demand,’ for *forhskôn; see. maíhstus,, ‘excrement,’ meoz (for *meoxt?), ‘excrement,’  mix, obsolete in ; the derivative , , and  mixen, ‘dunghill,’ has been preserved, and appears in  as mistunnea, mistina, , and also in  as misten, ‘dunghill.’ Since stu in  maihstus is a suffix,   is connected with  měz-ti, ‘to dung,’ mėżlaì, ‘excrement,’ or with the Aryan root mī̆gh, ‘to make water,’ which has been retained in  as mîgen;   mîgan,  míga, ‘to make water.’ This latter verbal stem is found in the non- languages;  the  root mih,  mingere,  ὀμιχεῖν, with the same sense;  mêjo and  mężu, ‘mingo,’ also belong to the same Aryan root mī̆gh. Since ὀμίχλη, ὁμίχλη, mĭgla,  miglà, ‘mist,’ are also allied to  ὀμιχεῖν, ‘to make water,’ the following have also been connected with,  and  mist,  and  mist, ‘mist,’  mistr, ‘misty air’;  méghá, ‘cloud,’ míh, ‘rain, mist,’ belong also to the root mih, which in  means both ‘to make water’ and ‘raining, gushing forth.’   ,, from the  mistel,  mistil, , ‘mistletoe’:   mistel,  mistle,  mistelteinn, ‘mistletoe.’ An  word not derived
