"mьrknǫti" meaning in Proto-Slavic

See mьrknǫti in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

Etymology: Per Derksen, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *mirˀk-, from Proto-Indo-European *mr̥Hk-, from the root *merHk-. Cognate with Lithuanian mirksė́ti (“to blink”), mérkti (“to close one's eyes”) (1sg. mérkiu, 1sg. past mérkiau), Latvian mir̂kšķêt, mir̂kšêt (“to blink”), mir̃kšķinât (“to blink, to make a sign”), Gothic 𐌼𐌰𐌿𐍂𐌲𐌹𐌽𐍃 (maurgins, “morning”). Vasmer adds Sanskrit मर्क (marká-, “solar eclipse”) as a possible, if uncertain, cognate. Chernykh adds as a cognate Old Irish mrecht (“multicolored, motley, spotted”) as well as Old Norse murta (“small trout”) < *mr̥Hk-t-, due to its spotted coloring and the exact correspondence with the previously mentioned Old Irish word.
