IPA: /mál.kɛː/, /ˈmal.ci/, /ˈmal.ci/, /mál.kɛː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈmal.ke̝/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈmal.ci/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈmal.ci/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈmal.ci/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: A convincing explanation is still lacking. There have been attempts to connect this word with Lithuanian mùlkis (“blockhead”), Proto-Slavic *mьlčati (“to be silent”) and other words of doubtful origin. The connection with Ancient Greek μαλακός (malakós, “soft”) is unconvincing. According to Beekes, maybe from Pre-Greek.
