Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Traditionally connected with Lithuanian smáugti, English smoke, Ancient Greek σμύχω (smúkhō), Armenian մուխ (mux). The root vocalism presents serious problems; influence of other roots has been proposed, such as *pragnǫti (“thirst”). It may be instead compared to Lithuanian smógos (“thirst”), smogóti.

Verb

*smagnǫti impf

  1. dry, wither, thirst
