"μῦθος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See μῦθος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /mŷː.tʰos/, /ˈmy.θos/, /ˈmi.θos/, /mŷː.tʰos/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈmy.tʰos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈmy.θos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈmy.θos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈmi.θos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: * According to Frisk, of onomatopoeic origin, from μῡ (mū). * According to Beekes there are no plausible comparanda and the word is Pre-Greek. * Others compare it to Proto-Slavic *myslь (“idea, thought”), as if via Proto-Indo-European *mewHdʰ-. * Ernštedt (1953: 55-57) argues that it derived from Egyptian mdwt (“word, speech, affair”). If so, a cognate to Coptic ⲙⲉⲧ- (met-), and related to Coptic ⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ (moute). * Possibly related to Sanskrit मिथ्या (mithyā, “false, spurious, illusory”), from Proto-Indo-European *mewHdʰ- (“to complain or care about something”).
