μολύνω

Etymology
Denominative in, like and , from an unattested base form. Schmidt connects it with 🇨🇬 and the factitive verb. In order to combine the root vocalism with that of Lithuanian, he assumes, and assimilation *α>ο before υ in the following syllable, but there are too many counterexamples to such a rule. Numerous words for "dark, dirty color" and "dirt, defilement" are assembled under, but only 🇨🇬 is of interest here, with a derivative , which formally matches the hydronim. Both the hydronim and this verb may have been built on older, which would correspond to the Sanskrit word. Alternatively, Furnée compares, which could point to a word. See also.
