{
  "etymology_text": "Uncertain, the first element seems to appear as mihi (\"tongue\").\nTherefore the word would come from mintza (\"word\", \"speech\", \"designation\") + the verb forming suffix -tu, and not from mintzo (with the same sense) + -tu. One opposition could be that there exists no other word with the \"body part\" + -tza construction in Basque, still, that doesn't make the construction impossible.",
