"μῶλυ" meaning in All languages combined

See μῶλυ on Wiktionary

Noun [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /mɔ̂ː.ly/, /ˈmo.ly/, /ˈmo.li/, /mɔ̂ː.ly/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈmo.ly/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈmo.ly/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈmo.ly/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈmo.li/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Generally compared to Sanskrit मूल (mū́la, “root, radish”). However, Beekes prefers to connect the word with μώλυζα (mṓluza, “head of garlic”), which has a non-Greek suffix. According to Beekes, this noun must consequently be of Pre-Greek origin too. For the υ-stem, compare μίσυ (mísu), βράθυ (bráthu) and σῶρυ (sôru). According to Beekes, all proposed Indo-European etymologies must be rejected.
