"majati" meaning in Proto-Slavic

See majati in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

Etymology: From Proto-Balto-Slavic *māˀ-, with *-j- (or *-v-) inserted to break hiatus. Cognate with Lithuanian móti (“to beckon”), 1sg. móju, Latvian mãt (“to beckon”), 1sg. mãju, from Proto-Indo-European *(s)meh₂-. Pokorny (and hence Vasmer) separates the meanings "to detain, to exhaust" found among some daughter languages into a separate, homophonous root *majati derived from Proto-Indo-European *meh₃- and cognate with Old High German muoan (“to alarm, to worry”), muodi (“tired”) (modern German müde), Gothic 𐌰𐍆𐌼𐌰𐌿𐌹𐌸𐍃 (afmauiþs, “tired”), Ancient Greek μῶλος (môlos, “burden, labor”), μώλυς (mṓlus, “weakened, exhausted, stupid”), Latin mōlēs (“heaviness, weight”). Derksen prefers to keep all meanings together under Proto-Indo-European *(s)meh₂-. See also *māxàti, *mamiti for further discussion.
